Individual Lead Abatement Application Lead Abatement Firm Certification Application
All firms which perform, or offer to perform, any of the lead-based paint abatement activities described in Alabama’s lead rules must have certification from the Alabama Department of Public Health.
In order to be certified as an Abatement Firm, the company must have at least one individual who is accredited by and registered with UA SafeState as a Lead Abatement Worker, Lead Inspector, Lead Abatement Supervisor, and Lead Risk Assessor, or Lead Abatement Project Designer.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For Individual Abatement Accreditation: The Lead-Based Paint training and accreditation process requires initial training and accreditation and yearly re-registration. Applicants can choose to register for 1 year, 2 years, or all 3 years.
Prior to the 3-year expiration date, the applying individual must take a refresher course from an Alabama-approved trainer to maintain accreditation.
