Which of the following is designated as a hazardous substance under the Occupational Health and Safety Act?

  1. UFFI

  2. Lead

  3. Mould

  4. Radon

  5. Asbestos

  6. Formaldehyde

The correct answer is: Lead

Lead is designated as a hazardous substance under the Occupational Health and Safety Act in Ontario. Lead exposure can occur through various sources such as lead-based paint, dust, and water contamination. It is important for real estate professionals to be aware of the presence of lead in properties, especially in older homes, as exposure to lead can cause serious health issues, particularly in children and pregnant women. The other options listed (A. UFFI, C. Mould, D. Radon, E. Asbestos, F. Formaldehyde) are also potential environmental hazards that real estate professionals should be knowledgeable about, but in the context of the Occupational Health and Safety Act in Ontario, lead is specifically designated as a hazardous substance.
