Deleading projects in Massachusetts follow strict rules, but one of the most confusing parts for contractors is understanding that not all deleading work is the same. There are different levels of deleading, and each comes with its own requirements for licensing, training, and job scope.

In this episode of Coffee with LeadSMART, our instructors explain how deleading levels work in Massachusetts and when each one applies.
