Last September while speaking with Shawn McCadden about the upcoming EPA RRP lead law, we were surprised there was a shortage of relevant content on line for contractors about the law. In January we met with the EPA in Boston and asked several questions that they were not able to answer without consulting with EPA headquarters. The EPA was very helpful where they could be but had to refrain from answering many of our questions until they could be reviewed by the Washington DC headquarters. This dilemma created a huge void for contractors looking for answers about the RRP rule.
This lack of information led to the genesis of Shawn's outstanding resource called RRPedia. For any contractor, property owner or business owner seeking up to date accurate information, RRPedia is a must read.
Many contractors and industry professionals have told me they go to Shawn's RRPedia first before they go to the EPA's website on the RRP Lead Law!
For straight forward explanations and valuable tips on how to comply with this law add Shawn McCadden's RRPedia to your favorites list or better yet, sign up for his blog and receive updates as they are posted. It will save you valuable time and clear up many things you hear from the contractor rumor mill.

EPA RRP Lead Training
RRP Workshops
Posted by Mark Paskell on Thu, Jun 03, 2010 @ 08:36 PM
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.

RRP Workshop on 6/30/2010 at BROSCO

Yesterday, The Contractor Coaching Partnership completed the 4th EPA RRP Certified Renovator training in Taunton, Mass. Our trainings on the 12th and 13th were hosted by National Lumber. Steve Linsky from National Lumber commented on the quality of the trainers from Kachina Lead Paint Solutions. These trainers have extensive remodeling experience that allows them to relate to the contractor attendee.
At the end of each day, contractors had questions about the challenges they face implementing these new rules into their business. Many contractors were concerned as to how they will navigate the transition to full compliance of the documentation and lead safe practices taught in the course.
For this reason The Contractor Coaching Partnership has teamed up with Industry Expert Shawn McCadden. We have developed a one day seminar for business owners called "Getting your Business and Employees Ready for the New EPA RRP Rules." This program will be taught by Shawn and is geared to help contractors implement this new rule into their business.
Quite often contractors invest in education yet fail to benefit from it due to procrastination. Education without implementation produces sub-par results. To get the most out of any training and protect the investment, it is important to quickly take action and begin the implementation process.
This has never been so critical as now. The cost of failing to follow the EPA RRP Lead Rule can result in fines of $37,500. A price that would cause the failure for the majority of residential construction firms. Seminar link below.
