Lead Dust & Paint Assessment

Lead Exposure Monitoring & Site Investigations

Scaada NZ provides occupational exposure monitoring for lead dust in workplace environments to ensure compliance with exposure standards. We also perform site investigations for lead dust and paint, evaluating conformance with AS/NZS 4361:2017.

Lead hazards remain relevant in many New Zealand workplaces — particularly in construction, demolition, radiator repair, and battery recycling sectors. Lead paint is also commonly found in pre-1980s residential and commercial buildings, presenting risks during renovation or demolition works.
