RRP Training in Massachusetts is heating up again. We have had many calls from contractors after they had site visits from the DOS (Department of Safety). The DOS is out enforcing the law. They are giving warnings and letting contractors know that as of 7/9/2010 contractors must be registered with the State of Mass and trained to work on pre-1978 properties.
Contractors Caught By Suprise
Many contractors believed that they had until September 30th to get certified because of the 6/18/2010 memo from the EPA delaying fines. Well that all changed on 7/9/2010, when the State of Mass was awarded delegating authority from the EPA to enforce and administer the EPA RRP Lead Law. Contractors who put off the training and certification are now deemed non-compliant to work on target properties.
RRP Classes
We have just scheduled classes at Brockway Smith in Andover, Mass on;
8/13/2010, 8/18/2010, 9/1/2010, 9/15/2010 and 9/30/2010.
Brockway Smith has hosted classes all year in an effort to bring this mandatory training to contractors in Massachusetts. Steve Fisher from Brockway Smith says " this is our way of giving back to the industry by making our training facility available and hosting this important training."

On 6/30/2010 The Contractor Coaching Partnership and Shawn McCadden will hold our first RRP Workshop at Brockway Smith in Andover, Mass. Our workshop team of instructors will include Insurance expert Tom Messier of Mason and Mason Insurance and Construction Lawyer Michael Sams of Kenney and Sams P. C.
This is the first in a series of workshops we will have throughout the year. We are all members of EMNARI with extensive knowledge of the EPA RRP Lead Law. We have met with both the EPA Region 1 and Department of Occupational Safety numerous times to make sure we are at the forefront of any movements in the EPA RRP Lead Law so that we can provide accurate and timely information to our industry.
We are grateful to Brockway Smith and Steve Fisher for their amazing support. They have opened their doors and provided the use of their state of the art training facility for many EPA RRP trainings throughout the year.
As of this date The Contractor Coaching Partnership has provided training for over 2500 contractors since February. We are receiving calls everyday from contractors on how to incorporate the RRP lead law into the business. Our RRP Workshops will help contractors navigate the choppy waters that lie ahead.
