Colleagues: HSE Consulting Services, LLC (HSE), a multidisciplinary environmental health and safety consulting firm, has received accreditation to conduct lead-based paint training pursuant to 40 CFR Part 745.225. HSE can now provide Lead Renovator - Initial and Refresher Training in all States, Territories and Indian Tribes under the Federal Renovation, Repair and Painting Program. The Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule), finalized in April 2008 under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, requires that contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. This rule was fully effective on April 22, 2010. The RRP rule is an important part of the Federal government's overall strategy for eliminating childhood lead poisoning. EPA issued the rule because a disturbing number of America's children are still being poisoned by lead-based paint in their homes - leading to learning and behavioral disorders. The rule provides simple, low cost, common-sense steps contractors must take during their work to protect children and families. HSE is a mobile training provider and can provide training at your facility or ours. The current training schedule has dates open in June and July. Groups can schedule specific dates. Weekend training is available. Volume discounts will be applied. Call 315-698-1438 for additional information. Sincerely, Brian C. King, CIH President HSE Consulting Services, LLC 5797 Route 31, Suite 3 Cicero, NY 13039 O 315-698-1438 F 315-698-1441 M 315-427-1412 --- This e-mail is from the [log in to unmask] list.
