EPA Lead Safety

As of April 2010, the Toxic Substances Control Act required contractors to test for lead paint in pre-1978 homes and if detected, use Lead Safe Work Practices.  Companies must now be EPA registered and have a Certified Renovator available. 

At JLC LIVE this March, the mandatory course to become an EPA-recognized “Certified lead-Safe Renovator” is being offered.  This (8) hour training class is geared toward construction contractors, painting contractors who will work on properties that have not been cited as being in violation of lead safety regulations and need to be rendered lead safe.  This course covers MA & RI Certification as well.

On April 22, 2010, the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Lead Rule went into effect. This law named, 40 CFR Part 745 under the Toxic Substances Control Act, requires that renovations performed for compensation on pre-1978 homes, must be done by EPA Certified Firms using Certified Renovators. The list of firms who must comply include general contractors, painters, roofers, electricians, plumbers, gutter installers, plasterers, insulation installers, cable and IT installers, flooring installers, weatherization contractors, property management firms, insurance restoration companies, maintenance workers for cities, towns, colleges, universities and landlords. In addition, anyone must comply who is working for compensation and will disturb more than 6 square feet of interior painted surface and 20 square feet of exterior painted surface on pre-1978 homes.

This course is approved for the State of Massachusetts, the State of Rhode Island and states where the EPA is responsible for administration and enforcement of the RRP Lead Rule.

*This class is from 8:00 am – 6:00 pm (starts two hours earlier than others on this day) and is sold separately.  This class is not included in any other pass and INCLUDES two-day Exhibit Hall Admission.
