Topic Current and Emerging Policies about Lead and Lead Based Paint

This presentation is an introduction of current and emerging policies and regulations that we all should know about Lead. OSHA is changing CFR after decades. EPA is proposing to align definitions with OSHA’s more stringent terminology.  NJ has new tougher Lead Laws for Rental properties, including restrictions on Landlords from completing their own repairs.

Did you Know

If you’re working on homes, schools or day care centers built pre-1978, you must be EPA Lead-Safe Certified.

What

The Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule is a federal regulatory program affecting anyone who disturbs painted surfaces where lead may be present.

Who

Any contractor, including renovators, electricians, HVAC specialists, plumbers, painters and maintenance staff, who disrupts more than six square feet of lead paint in pre-1978 homes, schools, day care centers and other places where children spend time.

Without certification and by not following approved

  1.  You risk of government fines and civil liability
    Not following Lead-Safe practices; you and your company can face tens of thousands of dollars in fines and put yourself and your company at risk of potential lawsuits.
  2. Protect your workers, yourself and your customers from a health risk
    Dust from renovation, repairs and painting can contaminate an entire home and, if inhaled or ingested, can cause irreversible damage to children and adults.
