Lead-Safe Renovation, Repairs and Painting
EPA's new rule regarding lead safety
EPA Requirements
Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition
can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint,
which can be harmful to adults and children.
To protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at
preventing lead poisoning.Under the rule, beginning April 22, 2010,
contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that
disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools
built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work
practices to prevent lead contamination.
