Lead Safe Work Practices
Topic: Government
I attended a Lead Safe Work Practices seminar today. The Environmental Protection Agency is working to reduce the number of lead poisoning cases in the United States.

All houses built in and before 1978 should be tested for potential lead hazzards.

The EPA has created a brochure to be given to people who purchase, lease/rent, or work in (and neighbors of) homes containing lead paint. Violation of EPA and OSHA standards have legal consequences.

Home sellers, landlords, renovation contractors, and real estate agents are responsible by federal regulations to comply with informing people of the possible lead hazzards. In fact, the responsible parties are required to get a written receipt from the people they hand the lead hazzard brochure to.

Special equipment and supplies are required to be used by renovation contractors. I have researched some of the suppliers and provided links to their websites for your convenience.

Let me know when you have any questions. Until next time, I am and will always be Frank...
