The EPA is requiring certification of both individuals and their employer companies in lead paint removal and remediation. This will be enforced by the EPA for any projects occurring in homes that pre-date 1978.
As a member service, the HBA has partnered with a local EPA training provider to offer classes to our local industry. Members will be $225/person and nonmembers $275/person and will include lunch.
Please RSVP to the HBA as space for each class is capped at 30.
For more information on the rule - and to register - please read on:
The rule addresses remodeling and renovation projects disturbing more than six square feet of potentially contaminated painted surfaces for all residential and multifamily structures built prior to 1978 that are inhabited or frequented by pregnant women and children under the age of six.
It requires a cleaning inspection after the work is completed and grants the remodeler flexibility in determining the size of the work area, which can reduce the size of the area subject to containment.
The EPA rule also lists prohibited work practices ― including open-torch burning and using high-heat guns and high-speed equipment such as grinders and sanders unless equipped with a HEPA filter.
Additionally, the rule establishes required lead-safe work practices, including posting warning signs for occupants and visitors; using disposable plastic drop cloths; cleaning the work area with HEPA vacuuming and wet washing; and individual certification through a training course.
