What year should equipment be checked for lead paint if installed before this year?

  1. 1960

  2. 1978

  3. 1985

  4. 1990

The correct answer is: 1978

It is important to check equipment for lead paint if it was installed before 1978. This is because the use of lead paint in residential and public buildings was banned in 1978 due to its harmful effects on health. Therefore, choosing any year after 1978 would not be correct as it would not account for equipment installed before the ban. Option A (1960) is incorrect because the ban did not happen until 1978. Option C (1985) and D (1990) are also incorrect because they are after the ban and do not encompass all equipment that may have been installed before the ban.
