Lead Based Paint

40 CFR Part 745 – Lead Based Paint Poison Prevention In Certain Residential Structures. EPA Renovator, Remodeler, Painter (RRP) Rule:

Requires that those engaged in RRP activities in homes or child-occupied facilities (such as day care centers and kindergartens) built prior to 1978 be trained and certified in lead-safe work practices, and use these work practices to guard against lead contamination. It also requires that contractors provide information on lead safety prior to beginning work. Extension of the RRP rule to commercial buildings is now in the comment stage.

Lead Abatement Program: Training and Certification Program for Lead-based Paint Activities (TSCA sections 402/404)

Soil & Water Testing

Through the 1900’s, it was common practice to use lead pipes for interior plumbing. Lead piping was also used for the service connections that join buildings to the public water supply. This practice only recently ended in some localities.
