The following services are available at no cost to Burlington
and Winooski property owners and residents:
- Lead Safety Education
BLP can come to your home to discuss what you can do to help
keep your family safe from lead poisoning. Topics include
how diet and lifestyle can help prevent lead poisoning and
how the risk of poisoning can be reduced.
- Technical Assistance
Studies have shown that home renovation projects done
without using Lead Safe Work Practices have a high
likelihood of leading to a lead poisoned child. Certified
Program staff can conduct site visits to discuss how
upcoming renovations and painting projects can be done
safely. Visual Risk assessments can also be done on the
property to show parents and property owners what areas may
present a poisoning threat.
- Safety Guides
These helpful guides are available here, or can be mailed to
the do-it-yourselfer to show how various home projects can
be done lead-safely.
- EMP Classes
BLP offers the community free training regarding how rental
property owners can comply with the Vermont Lead Law.
Successful completion of the class also certifies that
individual to perform the yearly assessment and maintenance
work required by the law. The EMP class is also a good
resource for contractors and do-it-yourselfers to learn how
to use Lead Safe Work Practices.
- HEPA Vacuum Loans
BLP has several HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air)
filter vacuums that can be used free of charge. These
special filters are specially designed to capture the
extremely small lead particles that are generated by opening
lead-painted windows and doors. Using these vacuums will
greatly aid in lowering or eliminating the hazardous lead
dust that may be present in your home.
