Lead licensing in Michigan
Michigan certifies lead abatement workers, supervisors and firms, along with lead inspectors and risk assessors, through the Department of Health and Human Services. The department's Hire a Lead Professional page links its current lists of certified professionals. Ordinary renovation or painting that disturbs old paint in a home built before 1978 falls under EPA's Lead-Safe program instead. Check the certification on record, and check the agencies' sites for current requirements.
