Episode 69: Lead in the Workplace

In this episode, Nigel Johnson, managing director of Property Risk Australia joins us to discuss lead and the associated health risks and effects from exposure. Throughout time lead has been an extremely beneficial metal, although it has also been toxic to humans. Before its recognition as a highly poisonous substance lead was used extensively in a wide variety of products and applications. Although phased out, many countries still allow the sale of products that expose humans to lead. As a result, it continues to pose a public health risk.
