Do you sell paint or paint products? If so, your customers probably ask you many questions to make sure they do the work correctly. You do your best to answer their questions, but are you supplying your customers with good information?
Your customers need to know that old paint may contain lead. Unless they use proper precautions, they could put themselves, their families, and any other residents at risk for lead poisoning. Lead poisoning can cause serious, permanent problems with learning, behavior, and health, especially in young children. It can even be fatal.
This course will help you learn how to give your customers the advice they need to prevent lead poisoning when working around old paint.
