What does the term "lead-related construction work" include?

Only painting and renovation
Construction, alteration, and demolition of any building
Only maintenance work performed on older structures
Preparation and cleanup unrelated to lead

The correct answer is: Construction, alteration, and demolition of any building

The term "lead-related construction work" encompasses various activities that involve potential exposure to lead, particularly in structures that may contain lead-based materials. This includes the construction, alteration, or demolition of any building, since any of these processes can disturb lead-containing materials, such as paint or plumbing fixtures, thus posing a health risk. When buildings constructed before the ban on lead-based paint (which occurred in 1978) are involved, these activities could release lead dust or chips, which can be harmful. Understanding this term is crucial for ensuring proper safety measures are in place during any work that could expose workers or residents to lead hazards. The other options are too narrow in definition. They either restrict the scope to specific activities, such as painting and renovation or maintenance work, or they refer to activities entirely unrelated to lead, failing to capture the broader spectrum of potential lead exposure risks present during construction activities.
