Lead licensing in Nebraska
Nebraska requires anyone working on a lead abatement project, or in a lead occupation such as inspector, risk assessor, supervisor or worker, to hold a license from the Department of Health and Human Services. Renovation, repair and painting that disturbs old paint falls under EPA's federal Lead-Safe program instead. The state's license lookup shows the license on record, and EPA has a locator for renovation firms. Check the agencies' sites for current requirements.
