As you may have heard, new EPA regulations, effective April 22, 2010 require ALL contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. The first step of this process is to take a Lead Safe Work Practices Class.
The MARK Project is sponsoring a free LSWP class on Tuesday, May 4th from 8am to 4pm at Mountain Laurel Gardens Community Room, 55 Lamphere Lane, Arkville NY. Preregistration is required. Please print out the attached registration form and fax to the MARK Project by April 23rd in order to attend. Class size is limited, so it’s first come, first served.
The next step in the process is to take a 4 hour Renovate, Repair, Painting (RRP) class. These classes are in HIGH DEMAND all over the state. The MARK Project is attempting to arrange for a trainer to conduct this class locally, but if you are able to take the class elsewhere in NY sooner, you are strongly encouraged to do so as these new EPA regulations go into effect on April 22nd.
If you have taken the LSWP class previously, you still need this new RRP training. In addition, the contracting firm itself must have EPA Certification. For more information, go to http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/training/rrp/rrp.cfm
