How should a lead inspector present results that indicate a hazard?

Communicating a lead hazard clearly and calmly is essential. Present the actual findings with measurements, explain what they mean in terms of risk, and outline practical next steps. Include evidence such as lab results or photos, and give specific recommendations—ranging from immediate interim controls or cleaning to professional abatement when needed. Importantly, link the guidance to the regulatory requirements: what actions are required, by whom, and any timelines or authorities to contact. The goal is to help the client understand the hazard, know exactly what to do, and know where to go for compliant steps, without causing unnecessary alarm.
