 EPA Regulation OverviewLead dust must be contained by law, starting April 22, 2010
State lead laws may supersede the new EPA Rule
New training, procedures, work practices to prevent childhood lead poisoning
Sanding, cutting and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint. Even tiny amounts of lead paint dust will poison children and adults. To protect against this risk, the EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions that will affect contractors. This was passed into law on March 31,
2008.
Under the new rule, contractors that disturb 6 square feet or more of lead-based paint in homes, or child occupied facilities (built before 1978) must be certified in these new procedures and work practices before April 22, 2010.
For a summary of how the new EPA Rule will affect contractors,

The new rule applies to:
Residential rental property owners/managers
Special trade contractors, including:
-
Painters
-
Plumbers
-
Carpenters
-
Electricians
