Lead Safe Certification
New Government Mandates.
New EPA regulations mandate
that all renovation and repair contractors who disrupt more
than six square feet of lead paint, replace windows or do any
demolition, are required to become Lead-Safe Certified.
Additional regulations that went into effect January 1, 2011
require contractors, remodelers, inspectors or other
professionals who work on pre- 1978 homes to be trained and
certified in lead inspection and removal.
If found in violation of these new laws, you could face up to
$37,000 in fines. Plus, you put the health of
yourself,
your workers and your customers at risk, which could result in
lawsuits.
If you are a lead paint abatement contractor and want to do
renovations, you still have requirements to follow with this
new regulation. You are not officially certified unless you
take a RRP accredited course, which have only been offered
since early 2009. To learn about
