Mitchell Completes Lead Law Certification
Mitchell Construction Group, Inc. has successfully completed the requirements for the Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule set out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to become a certified firm to conduct lead-based paint activities and/or renovations. In addition, three Mitchell Construction Group employees have successfully completed an 8 hour renovator training course offered by the Institute of Environmental Education (IEE).
Training consisted of a 6 hour in-class and 2 hour hands-on training on how to renovate safely in housing with lead-based paint and comply with regulations. Certified renovators are responsible for ensuring overall compliance with the Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program’s requirements for lead-safe work practices. Renovator certification is valid for 5 years.
As of April 22, 2010 all firms and employees performing renovation work for compensation in pre-1978 homes or child-occupied facilities that will disturb more than 6 sq. ft. (interior) and 20 sq. ft. (exterior) of lead paint, or who are removing or modifying painted surfaces in the course of their work, will need to be certified by the EPA.
