Training Courses to Meet EPA Lead Paint Rule Offered at IBS
Two courses that will help remodelers and contractors meet their requirements to be trained and certified in lead-safe work practices under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s new Lead: Renovation, Repair and Painting rule are being offered at the 2010 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas next month.
The Renovation, Repair and Painting rule — which goes into effect in four months — requires anyone working in homes built before 1978 and inhabited by small children or pregnant women to complete eight hours of training, use lead-safe practices and keep copious records of the work done.
The two courses — classroom and hands-on sessions — cover the rule’s requirements for dust containment, work site cleaning, record keeping, consumer education and more:
- “Part One: Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting”
Room S1, South Hall
Sunday, Jan. 17
9:00 a.m.- 2:30 p.m.
This course provides classroom training to help remodelers and contractors meet EPA requirements to identify lead-based paint (LBP) and the health problems associated with disturbing it; detail the requirements of EPA’s rule requiring lead-safe work practices; conduct LBP disturbance safely and in compliance with the EPA rule; conduct training for workers so they follow the rules, clean up lead-based dust and properly dispose of waste; and properly document compliance with the rule.
This course must be completed, or proof of completion must be submitted, before taking “Part Two: Hands-On Training for Renovation, Repair and Painting.”
- “Part Two: Hands-On Training for Renovation, Repair and Painting”
Room S1, South Hall
Sunday, Jan. 17
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.; 1:30.-4:30 p.m.; or 6:30-9:30 p.m.
Monday, Jan. 18
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.; or 1:30-4:30 p.m.
This course provides complementary hands-on training to the classroom session offered at IBS.
