Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair & Painting Training on July 8, 2015

Alameda County Healthy Homes Department, a State of California and EPA-accredited training provider, invites property owners and the maintenance crews of pre-1978 residential properties in Alameda, Berkeley, Oakland and Emeryville to a FREE Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting Training. The EPA’s Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule aims to protect the public from lead-based paint hazards associated with renovation, repair and painting activities.

Under the RRP Rule, firms performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, apartments, childcare facilities, other child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must be EPA RRP certified. Under state law, pre-1978 homes are presumed to have lead-based paint and lead safe work practices are required.

Whether you need certification or just an expanded working knowledge of lead-safe work practices, please make plans to join us.  The Alameda County Healthy Homes Department provides all course materials, and a full day of training. Upon successful completion, EPA lead-safe renovator certification is offered for $50.

Training Location: ACHHD Office, 2000 Embarcadero, Suite 300, Oakland. Plenty of free parking.

Pre-registration is required. Seating is limited.
