Which evaluation identifies lead-based paint hazards through various assessments?

The evaluation that identifies lead-based paint hazards through various assessments is a Risk Assessment. This process involves a comprehensive examination of a property to determine the presence of lead-based paint and the potential hazards associated with it.

During a Risk Assessment, different methodologies are employed, including visual inspections, sampling, and testing of paint, dust, and soil. The primary focus is to assess not only the presence of lead but also to evaluate the condition of the lead-based paint and the associated risks it poses, particularly to children and pregnant women. By identifying not just the presence of lead but also the hazards, this assessment helps in determining necessary actions to mitigate risks.

In contrast, a Lead Inspection strictly identifies the presence of lead-based paint but does not assess the risk associated with such findings. An Environmental Assessment encompasses broader considerations, including environmental factors beyond lead, and may not focus primarily on lead hazards. A Hazard Evaluation typically refers to a broader scope that looks at various types of hazards and may not be limited specifically to lead-based paint.
