Well I DID say "at the very least" ...

I agree they are not 100% accurate, on the other hand, they are readily available and may provide a starting point when considering to do this work yourself or to hire a professional.

I work for a general contractor, who is EPA certified to perform lead safe work practices and all of our field employees have had formal training in the EPA mandated lead safe work practices.
