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.

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. Will they provide cost effective pricing to cover contractors for lead? Will they require specific certification and or training in order to qualify for coverage? Will EPA RRP Certification be required in order to qualify for general liability coverage?

Posted by Mark Paskell on Sun, May 16, 2010 @ 12:21 AM
Back in January when I chose to partner with Kachina Lead Paint Solutions I had no idea that we would together, train 2000 contractors. Yesterday we hit 2000 with many more to go. We currently have 7 sold out dates this week and 5 the following week before the holiday. This business has taken on a life of its own. We now have four awesome instructors who have an extensive background in residential construction.
