Builders Site Protection Helps Customers with Lead Abatement Regulations

New Lead Abatement Rules for Contractors: The Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule

Beginning on April 22^nd 2010, contractors performing work that disturbs lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must:

• Be EPA certified
• To become certified, contractors must submit an application and fee payment to the EPA
• Firms must have one or more ‘certified renovators’ assigned to jobs where lead-based paint is disturbed. To become certified, a renovator must successfully complete an EPA or State-approved training course
• All renovation workers must be trained to use lead safe work practices either on-the-job by a certified renovator, or by becoming certified renovators themselves
• Follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination
• Contain the work area
• The RRP rule requires that the work area be protected by plastic sheeting that extends a minimum of six feet in all directions from the location where the pain will be disturbed.
• Minimize dust
• Close and cover air vents in the working area
• Use floor protection to prevent dust spread and put all tools and supplies on protective sheeting before you begin work
• Protect yourself
• Wear protective clothing such as disposable shoe covers, gloves, safety goggles, and a painters hat to protect yourself from exposure to dust and debris
• Clean up thoroughly
