Lead abatement may be undertaken in response to orders by state or local government.^[2] It requires specialized techniques that local construction contractors typically do not have.^[2] It includes activities such as lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments and lead-based paint removal.^[1]

In the United States, lead abatement activities are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.^[3] Lead abatement companies are governed by the EPA and the EPA requires and individuals and firms that conduct lead-based paint activities, including abatement, to be licensed. The lead abatement company, its supervisors, and all of the workers have to take classes and receive a certificate of completion. State agencies work with the EPA to enforce state and Federal laws.^[1]

Lead abatement is distinguished from Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) programs, which are typically performed at the option of the property owner for aesthetic or other reasons, or as an interim control to minimize lead hazards.^[1] RRP programs are not designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards.^[1]
