(EPA) Environmental Protection Agency - Since April 22nd 2010, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
Until that time, EPA recommends that anyone performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools follow lead-safe work practices. Platinum Construction is proud to be an environmentally-conscious and safety-oriented firm that is well-versed in the EPA guidelines and standards regarding these lead-safe practices.
