How to become a lead inspector?

To pursue a career as a lead inspector, earn an associate or bachelor’s degree, though some employers may consider candidates who do not have a degree but have many years of industry and inspection experience. Complete an EPA- or state-approved training program to learn how to identify and test for lead hazards. Some states require lead inspectors to be certified or licensed, so research the qualifications for licensure in your state. You typically find lead inspector positions in government public health agencies.
