NOTICE:
By April 2010, all firms doing work in pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities must
be lead-safe certified by the EPA.
WHO NEEDS TO BE TRAINED:
If a company is working on/for government funded rehab jobs such as Maine Housing, PROP and CAP's everyone on site will need this eight hour training course.
If the company is not working on these types of jobs, but rather working strictly for homeowners paying for the work, without government grants, then only one person in the company needs to take the class.
Larger companies may want at least two trained persons because the trained renovator is expected on the worksite throughout the work process.
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) This 1-day course is designed for workers doing renovation, repair and painting work in pre-1978 housing. It includes information on lead and its health effects, occupant protection planning, lead-safe work practices, waste handling and disposal, and lead dust clearance standards. It also covers the OSHA lead in construction standard, personal protective equipment and hygiene practices, and state and federal regulations that apply to renovation, repair and painting in pre-1978 housing. This course meets the training requirements of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Renovation, Repair and Painting rule for work beginning on or after April 22, 2010.
