If flaking paint containing lead is observed, who should be contacted?

The Safety Officer
The Environmental Protection Agency
Facilities Management Building Point of Contact
An immediate supervisor

The correct answer is: Facilities Management Building Point of Contact

In the scenario where flaking paint containing lead is observed, it is crucial to contact the Facilities Management Building Point of Contact. This person is typically responsible for maintaining the safety and compliance of the building's environment, including issues related to hazardous materials like lead paint. They will have the knowledge and authority to assess the situation, determine the necessary remediation steps, and coordinate with appropriate agencies or contractors to handle the lead paint safely and effectively. While notifying a Safety Officer or an immediate supervisor may also be important, they usually funnel issues to the appropriate department rather than directly addressing environmental hazards. The Environmental Protection Agency plays a role in regulating lead and related environmental concerns, but for immediate on-site issues, the Facilities Management Building Point of Contact is best positioned to take action swiftly.
