The Clock is Ticking on Lead Paint Removal Compliance!
The EPA has a new requirement for all employees of contractors who may be working in structures built before 1978, that may disturb Lead Based Paint (LBP) to have training, certification, and accreditation. The penalty to comply can be up to $ 37,500 per violation per day! Training must be completed and certified by April 22, 2010. In addition, those who perform this work must inform the occupants and owners of the property of the rule.
