What you need to know:
Beginning in April 2010, firms working in pre-1978 homes will need to be certified. Along with the firm certification, an employee will also need to be certified as a Certified Renovator. This employee will be responsible for training other employees and overseeing work practices and cleaning. The training curriculum is an eight-hour class with two hours of hands-on training. Both the firm and Certified Renovator certifications are valid for five years. A Certified Renovator must take a four-hour refresher course to be recertified.
Training classes:
Private Facility: TM4 Group will be offering the class at a reduced rate for all ResCon Safety Group attendees. A PDF is attached for the class registration which has our group’s special code for easy identification. The discounted rate for our group is $220 per person, down from the original cost of $250. (Click this link for the form: Registration Form for RRP ClassRescon).
MBA: The MBA is teaching this class – register online. This eight-hour course trains renovation, repair and painting contractors how to work safely in housing with lead-based paint and comply with EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule and HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Rule. Topics include health concerns; regulations; before, during and after work procedures; record keeping; and training non-certified workers. This training is required for any contractor who is involved in any construction activity that now has or will have the potential to contact lead-based paint. Cost: $250 MBA Members / $300 Non-MBA Members
