Approximately 75% of the housing in Vermont was built before 1978, the year lead paint was banned. Anyone working on these buildings is at an increased risk for exposure to lead paint. While the majority of lead poisoning cases are children, it is possible for anyone to contract lead poisoning if proper work-safe practices are not observed.

To address this risk, the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board sponsors free Essential Maintenance Practices (EMP) classes around Vermont. More than 8,000 people have attended these classes to learn lead-safe work practices that reduce health risks related to lead-based paint.

Information covered in the classes includes:

The requirements of Vermont's lead paint law and related federal regulations
The health effects of lead in children and adults
Lead-safe work practices and maintenance procedures
Specialized cleaning techniques and equipment for removing lead-contaminated dust

The next free EMP courses will be held in the following locations:
