The Occupational Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (OLPPP) is a program in the California Department of Public Health that helps employers, workers and others prevent lead poisoning in workers.

How does OLPPP help prevent work-related lead poisoning?

We:

• Identify lead-poisoned workers and help them get proper medical care
• Help workers avoid carrying lead home on their clothes and poisoning their families
• Assist employers to improve lead safety
• Provide information to help doctors, nurses and others care for lead-poisoned workers
• Track adult blood lead levels to find out who is getting lead poisoned in California
• Help clinical labs process adult blood lead reports

Selected OLPPP Projects and Activities

• Lead poisoning case investigations
• Medical management of lead-exposed workers
• California Occupational Blood Lead Registry
