RRPedia, the ultimate resource for RRP information for contractors

Posted by Mark Paskell on Sun, Jun 13, 2010 @ 09:52 AM

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.

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.

Will insurance companies force contractors to be RRP Certified?

Posted by Mark Paskell on Sun, May 23, 2010 @ 09:09 PM

As The Contractor Coaching Partnership marches on to providing training for 3000 contractors we are often asked if we know what insurance companies are going to do.
