Contractor and Property Manager Alert! New Effective Date in Massachusetts 7/9/2010

The State of Massachusetts officially took over the administration and enforcement of the EPA RRP Lead Rule. If you were trained before this date you may not know about the new changes in Mass. As of 7/9/2010 all contractors, property management firms, or municipal entities who perform work on pre-1978 properties must register with the State of Mass and must use RRP lead safe practices if they disturb 6 square feet of painted surface on the interior or 20 square feet of painted surface on the exterior.

Enforcement in Massachusetts Has Begun

The DOLS hired another field inspector for the 2011 spring season. At a recent contractor forum we set up with the DOLS they informed us that they will start agressively enforcing as soon as the weather breaks in late March or early April 2011. Unlike the EPA, they have many inspectors and are aggressively pursuing non-compliant companies. Last year according to DOLS officials statements at the contractor forum in Westborough, Mass. they fined several companies who poisoned their employees. In 2011 they have already visited over 100 job sites.

April 22, 2010 has come and gone. Did you fall for the rumors that it would be delayed or repealed? Are you certified or non-compliant? Over 4500 contractors hired us to provide EPA RRP training and they are now legally able to work on pre-1978 homes, are you?

Sign up for training today, protect your business, your investment and avoid the risk of an inspector visit costing you big time!  

ABOUT THE EPA RRP LEAD RULE

Renovate Right Pamphlet

Named 40 CFR Part 745, this law requires that renovations performed for compensation on pre-1978 homes, must be done by EPA Certified Firms using Certified Renovators. This includes contractors as well as landlords and property managers. The EPA states that if you are caught working illegally they can fine you and even impose jail time. 

Fines for noncompliance can put you out of business.

Choose your trainer carefully.

A challenge for contractors in the residential construction industry is knowing who to hire to provide RRP training for their company and  employees. Currently there are approximately 500 certified companies that class size is limited -  register todayare approved to train with new trainers coming on line everyday. Not all trainers are the same. We recommend that you hire a trainer who  has extensive experience in the remodeling industry. This experience is vital to the success of your training. We only use trainers that have a demonstrative ability to relate to residential contractors. There is nothing worse than sitting for 8 hours listening to some instructor who has no experience working with homeowners. Many of the 4500 contractors we have trained have told us they appreciate that our instructors have a residential contracting background.
