According to DHS 163, what constitutes a "lead company"?

The definition of a "lead company" according to DHS 163 encompasses any organization that provides services related to lead. This includes a broad range of activities such as lead hazard evaluations, abatement, cleanup, and other lead-related services necessary for public health and safety concerning lead exposure.

The primary focus of the regulation is to ensure that all entities involved in some capacity with lead management are licensed and adhere to safety and health standards. This comprehensive definition allows for the inclusion of various forms of services because they all play a crucial part in mitigating lead-related risks. By identifying all companies offering any lead-related services, it ensures greater oversight and adherence to required practices that protect the community from lead exposure.

Other choices are too narrow in scope and do not fully capture the full range of what constitutes a lead company under these regulations.
