The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Ohio Department of Health are providing this document tohelp child care centers, family child care homes, foster homes, and children’s residential facilities better understand lead
hazards and their options if they suspect or identify the presence of lead in their home or facility. Your home or center
may contain lead if the structure was built prior to 1978. The information below may answer your questions. If you need
additional guidance, please call the Ohio Department of Health’s Ohio Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention
Program at 1-877-LEADSAFE (532-3723).
1. Why is lead harmful to children?
Exposure to lead can seriously harm a child’s health. It can damage a child’s brain and nervous system, slow their
growth and development, cause learning and behavior problems, and cause hearing and speech problems.
2. Where can lead be found?
• Homes built before 1978 (when residential lead-based paint was banned) likely contain lead-based paint. When
paint peels and cracks, it can cause lead dust. Children can be poisoned when they swallow or breathe in lead
dust.
• Certain water pipes or faucets may contain lead.
• Lead can be found in some products such as toys and jewelry.
• Lead is sometimes in candies or traditional remedies imported from other countries.
• Certain jobs and hobbies involve working with lead-based products, such as stained glass, and may cause
parents or other adults to bring lead into the home or facility on their clothes and other personal belongings.
3. What are the requirements for lead renovation, repair, or painting for a structure built prior to
1978?
Child care homes and facilities licensed or certified by the Ohio Department
of Job and Family Services are required to follow the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule. The rule requires that anyone conducting renovation, repair,
and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in a child care home or facility built before 1978
be EPA-certified and adhere to lead-safe work practices. For more
