Description
Do you renovate or maintain buildings?
As a contractor or maintenance worker, you play a critical role in helping to prevent lead exposure in buildings. Ordinary renovation and maintenance activities can create toxic lead dust that can harm your customers, children, workers, and even yourself. By following lead-safe work practices, you can prevent lead hazards and reduce childhood lead exposure. Plus, you’ll avoid costly fines for non-compliance – up to $37,500 per violation!
In general, anyone who is paid to perform work that disturbs paint in housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must be certified.
Why this is important
Any renovation, repair, or painting (RRP) project in a pre-1978 home that has lead-based paint can easily create dangerous lead dust. If you are planning an RRP project in a pre-1978 home, the EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and pre-schools built before 1978 use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers and follow lead-safe work practices.
