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?

One of the biggest failures of the EPA RRP lead Rule is little or no media exposure. Well yesterday the Boston Globe published an article about the EPA RRP rule. Although several facts were wrong and the article left out many key points it is a good start.
