As I mentioned in the paper evaluation, the instructor was great. He made it a point to ask for class participation, called on each one to ask questions, was VERY knowledgeable on course information, made the class fun and not boring, put things into terms we could all understand and did not talk above our heads like most instructors do.

I work in residential renovations where lead paint is present. You need to know how to protect yourself, your clients, and your family from lead poisoning. This course provides clear information on what you need to do and why it is necessary. The hands-on experience at the end of the course is especially valuable, translating the information given in class into a solid lesson on how to do the work. Mark K.

Overall, I am satisfied with the training I have received. The instructor was very good about aswerwing quiestions and the overall presentation was good. I am only giving 4 stars because there were questions on the test that were not covered and during the training period there were a few times when the instructor wasn't quite as prepared as he could have been.

RRP Project Binder Overview
Please note: this product is sent via Fedex to your mailing
address and will not be delivered in class, as it is for use on an RRP job site and is
separate from the class manual. Please allow 3-5 business days for shipping.
The RRP Project Binder & Tutorial is an optional record-keeping tool that is perfect for
compiling and retaining all required documents to be in compliance with the EPA Renovation
Repair and Painting Rule (40 CFR Part 745). The Binder is the essential tool for
step-by-step instructions on "how to" complete forms and letters that are included in the
Renovation Repair and Painting Rule Project Binder. It is recommended that each renovation
project retain a Project Binder & Tutorial on-site for the duration of the project. The
Project Binder is to be retained after the completion of the project for a period of three
years, accessible by the EPA for possible spontaneous audit.
For those working in EPA-authorized states including AL, DE, GA, IA, KS, MA, MS, NC, OK, OR, RI, UT, WA or WI there may be additional or alternate record-keeping requirements from what is presented in the RRP Project Binder. Please check with your local and state lead programs to confirm the work practices and record-keeping required for RRP work in your area. The following forms are incorporated into the Project Binder:
The Environmental Protection Agency has begun enforcement of lead-related issues within the residential construction industry. Reports of violations and fines are being released constantly. The primary violation is non-compliance of required paperwork.  |
