If you work for compensation in residential or child-occupied facilities built before 1978, certification is a legal requirement. Whether you’re a contractor, property manager, landlord, painter, plumber, electrician, or any professional disturbing paint in these facilities, federal law mandates that you have the appropriate certification.
You are responsible for both individual certification and firm certification, to ensure compliance with EPA and state regulations. Without certification, you could face fines of up to $41,056 per violation, along with the risks of exposing clients, workers, and residents to lead hazards.
Protect your business, your clients, and your team by getting certified. Our training programs are designed to help you meet all legal requirements, integrate safe work practices, and confidently handle jobs in buildings constructed before 1978.
WHY WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT LEAD POISONING IN A NEW HOME!
This invisible poison travels on your hair, your clothes, your shoes, your tools and it causes permanent brain damage for children under the age of 6.
If your home is built before 1940 in the U.S., nearly 90% of these homes contain lead. Even if you live in a new house, you may be bringing this poison into your home. This poisonous dust can be transferred from job sites or from articles you buy, or collect, or were handed down in your family. You may also bring this toxic dust into your home from the places you visit or work.
Watch as our founder, Kate Kirkwood, demonstrates live on the TEDx stage by testing household objects to reveal which ones contain toxic lead paint.
