• The purpose, selection, fitting, and limitations of different types of respirators
• The health hazards of lead exposure on the reproductive system, kidneys, brain and central nervous system, and blood
• A description of the medical surveillance and removal programs, which we will discuss in detail later
• The engineering and work practice controls in place to limit exposure
• The contents of the compliance program
• The location of regulated areas
• The employee's right to access records, which we will discuss next
