Lead licensing in Connecticut
Connecticut requires anyone doing lead-related work, such as lead inspections, risk assessments and abatement, to work for a company with a license from the Department of Public Health and to be certified in their own discipline. Renovation, repair and painting that disturbs old paint falls under EPA's federal Lead-Safe program instead. The state's eLicense site lets you pull a roster of lead abatement contractors and consultants. Check the agencies' sites for current requirements.
