Two contractors discuss how the new U.S. EPA RRP rule will affect their business and how the EPA-accredited training class offered by Gene Burch of RTK Environmental Group, has helped them understand the new law. RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) classes are offered to contractors, painters, and handymen. The EPA plans strict enforcement on lead safe work practices when working with lead paint in April, 2010. Course: Renovator-Initial course (English) and Dust Sampling Technician-Initial course (English).

  • I just took this training course....what a joke!

  • @ahsure Many reputable contractors have been taking the course (as mandated by law) and have regularly made comments to us that they're glad they've taken the class so they won't poison homeowners with lead dust. I'm sorry that you feel this important course was a "joke."

  • The question is not how to get managers’ emotional commitment but why manager’s don’t give it even if they like their company.

    Most managers have plenty of emotional commitment to give to their jobs. If they can be convinced it’s safe and sensible to give it.

  • @brettgcenturion It's not joke. I have a grandson who's been found to have learning disabilities due to high blood lead levels caused by renovations in his 1930's house by his dad, my son who is devasted. The proper testing for lead and the subsequent safe procedures, is not joke. Also, i am a certified renovator and I find that very few homes built between 1960 and 1978 have lead paint hazards. The cost and time for record keeping is nominal and necessary.

  • Maybe he thinks its a joke because he has to front thousands of dollars in equipment, time and record keeping. Or maybe he's pissed cause this is going to put his business in jeopardy of surviving in this economy thats already killing us contractors. Maybe he thinks even if he does buy all this stuff he can't possibly take the time to do what the epa asks. It is a joke.

  • You can also register for classes at epaleadtraining(.)com. Great video.
