Lead Safe Work Practices
MAREI in the News
Effective April of 2010 (and earlier in some State), the EPA final Rule, referred to as the “RRP Rule” (Renovation, Remodeling and Painting Rule), will take effect. One of the many requirements of this new EPA Federal Regulation is that construction related activity persons (Carpenters, Roofers, Painters, Remodelers, Renovators, HVAC Persons, Electricians, Plumbers, Carpet Installers, etc) who will impact 6 square feet or more in total (some States are using 2 square feet) of any and all surface coatings (paint, stain, varnish, shellac, polyurethane, epoxy, sealers, etc) or lead-contaminating materials in a pre-1978 structure, as well as all commercial Daycare centers and Kindergarten facilities, will have to receive the mandated Lead-Safe Work Practices (LSWP) training from an approved Professional Training Provider.
State or EPA certification /licensure will be required for construction related activity persons (Contractors) and those persons must receive training from an approved Professional Training Provider. When the new RRP Rule takes effect on April 22, 2010, Contractors will have to take the mandated training from a Professional Training Provider that has been accredited by tht EPA or in the specific State in which the Contractors want to provide services.
