Lead paint hazard awareness check
Why it matters
Homes built before 1978 likely contain lead paint. Intact lead paint is generally safe, but any sanding, scraping, or drilling in these areas can create hazardous dust — especially dangerous for children and pregnant women.
Stop forgetting to do this.

Before any renovation, test with an EPA-approved lead test kit.

If positive, hire an EPA-certified lead abatement professional or use proper containment.
