Frequently Asked Questions:
I've heard of other organizations offering courses....and at different rates. How do I choose?
As a leader in industry education the HBA of Greater Little Rock immediately partnered with Larry Palmer & Robert Robertson, the only accredited trainers for Arkansas (both based out of Central Arkansas). Because of the EPA's April 22nd implementation date, other organizations have opted to invite out of state trainers, which could impact the quality and pricing of their particular program. We are confident in Mr. Palmer's and Mr. Robertson's instruction, have verfied his accreditation through the EPA and host all of our programs in an EPA-certified facility at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock. Rest assured that you will receive the top value for your training dollars with the HBA's Lead Based Paint Training Institute.
Why should I become certified?
After April 22, 2010, the EPA is requiring any industry professional who is working in a home built prior to 1978, and contains lead based paint, to become certified. This includes plumbers, electricians, painters, remodelers, drywall contractors, and anyone else who might distrub more than 6 square feet that could contain lead based paint. Along with an employee certification, firms must become certified as well. Fines could run in excess of $37,000 per offense. Firms will be responsible for such things as posting warning signs prior to work commencing, setting up a containment area for dust, and forbidding certain work practices such as torch burning.
