New Lead Paint Certification
The EPA’s new, more stringent, lead paint safety rules go into effect on April 22,
2010 and apply to all residential properties built prior to 1978. The new regulations
require contractor certification and very specific documentation along
with specific work and disposal procedures to prevent lead contamination. The
rules apply to all contractors (or an individual performing substantially the same
work for compensation), plumbers, painters, electricians and rental property
owners. Organizations or individuals involved in painting or remodeling homes
built prior to 1978 MUST be EPA certified and registered in order to perform the
work. More information is available at www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm.
