STOP! Before you renovate your home, read this first! 👇 If your home was built before 1978, projects like remodeling, repairs, or even stripping old paint and repainting can create lead dust in your home. If you are hiring a contractor to remodel or repair your home, make sure that they are lead-safe certified contractors. Use the Lead-based Paint Professional Locator at cdxapps.epa.gov/ocspp-oppt-lead/firm-location-search/distance to find a list of lead-safe certified contractors near you. If the home renovation or repair is a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) project, you can prevent lead dust from spreading throughout your home with the following lead-safe work practices: ✔️ Determine if lead-based paint is present ✔️ Set up safely ✔️ Protect yourself with the correct personal protective equipment ✔️ Minimize dust ✔️ Leave your work area clean ✔️ Clean thoroughly one more time #nhhm2026 #HealthyHomes
