1. 1A homeowner plans lead-hazard reduction work in a Louisiana residence that the homeowner owns and occupies. No other person occupies it, and no resident child has an elevated blood lead level. How does the state lead-activity chapter apply?

   1. A. The work is outside the state lead-activity requirements
   2. B. Only the notification requirements apply
   3. C. Only the accreditation requirements apply
   4. D. All state lead-activity requirements apply

   Answer: A

   Explanation: LAC 33:III.2801.B excludes this narrow owner-occupant situation: "except persons who perform these activities within residential dwellings that they own, unless the residential dwelling is occupied by a person or persons other than the owner or the owner's immediate family while these activities are being performed, or a child residing in the building has been identified as having an elevated blood lead level." The stated facts meet the exclusion.

2. 2A pre-1978 center is visited by the same five-year-old on two days each week, three hours per visit, for 60 hours each year. How is the center classified under Louisiana's rule?

   1. A. A child-occupied facility
   2. B. Target housing only
   3. C. An industrial facility
   4. D. A zero-bedroom dwelling

   Answer: A

   Explanation: The LAC 33:III.2803 definition applies when the same child visits "on at least two different days within any week, provided that each day's visit lasts at least three hours, with the combined weekly visit lasting at least six hours, and that the combined annual visits last at least 60 hours." These facts satisfy every threshold.

   Reference: Lac Title 33 Part III (2026) — LAC 33:III.2803, definition of Child-Occupied Facility, paragraph a

3. 3A Louisiana contractor proposes assigning unaccredited labor to conduct part of an abatement while an accredited supervisor watches. Does that satisfy the rule?

   1. A. No, abatement may be conducted only by persons accredited by the department
   2. B. Yes, whenever a supervisor remains in the building
   3. C. Yes, if the work lasts less than one day
   4. D. Yes, if the contractor has filed an LPN

   Answer: A

   Explanation: LAC 33:III.2811.E.1 states: "An abatement shall be conducted only by persons accredited by the department according to the procedures in this Section." Supervisor presence does not replace each person's required accreditation.

   Reference: Lac Title 33 Part III (2026) — LAC 33:III.2811.E.1

4. 4A crew proposes open-flame burning to remove lead-based paint during a Louisiana abatement. What must the supervisor decide?

   1. A. Reject the method because open-flame burning or torching is prohibited
   2. B. Allow it below 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit
   3. C. Allow it with a HEPA shroud
   4. D. Allow it on exterior surfaces only

   Answer: A

   Explanation: LAC 33:III.2811.E.6.a states: "open-flame burning or torching of lead-based paint is prohibited." The conditions governing heat guns and HEPA-shrouded machines do not create an exception for open flames.

   Reference: Lac Title 33 Part III (2026) — LAC 33:III.2811.E.6.a

5. 5Who may perform the post-abatement clearance procedures specified in Louisiana's abatement rule?

   1. A. Only an accredited inspector or accredited risk assessor
   2. B. Any accredited lead worker
   3. C. The accredited supervisor who conducted the abatement
   4. D. Any employee of the licensed contractor

   Answer: A

   Explanation: LAC 33:III.2811.E.9 provides: "The following post-abatement clearance procedures shall be performed only by an accredited inspector or an accredited risk assessor."

   Reference: Lac Title 33 Part III (2026) — LAC 33:III.2811.E.9

6. 6A Louisiana public entity uses its own employees for a covered lead abatement. Which status does Chapter 28 require?

   1. A. Both the entity and its employees are exempt
   2. B. The entity is exempt from licensure, but its employees need the appropriate accreditation
   3. C. The entity needs a contractor license, but its employees need no accreditation
   4. D. The entity needs only an annual project permit

   Answer: B

   Explanation: LAC 33:III.2801.C states: "Public entities are exempt from the requirements for licensure; however, employees of public entities must be accredited in the appropriate disciplines." The entity's exemption therefore does not extend to its workers' accreditation.

   Reference: Lac Title 33 Part III (2026) — LAC 33:III.2801.C

   4. D. Eight years old

   Answer: B
