About the EPA Lead Inspector Exam
The EPA Lead Inspector certification (40 CFR 745 Subpart L) authorizes professionals to conduct surface-by-surface lead-based paint investigations in pre-1978 target housing and child-occupied facilities. Inspectors use XRF analyzers and paint chip sampling to determine the presence or absence of lead-based paint — not hazard determination, which is the risk assessor's scope. Requires 24 hours of EPA-approved training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How does the Lead Inspector vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 20 Lead Inspector terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the Lead Inspector terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency / State-authorized lead programs content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the scope of a lead-based paint inspection under 40 CFR 745?
A lead-based paint inspection is a surface-by-surface investigation to determine the presence or absence of lead-based paint on all tested surfaces. It does NOT determine whether lead-based paint hazards exist — that is the role of a risk assessor. XRF readings are classified as positive, negative, or inconclusive using the analyzer's Performance Characteristic Sheet.
How many training hours are required for initial EPA Lead Inspector certification?
40 CFR 745 Subpart L requires a minimum of 24 hours of EPA-approved training for initial lead inspector certification. Training must include classroom instruction and hands-on activities covering XRF operation, paint chip sampling, report writing, and applicable regulations.
