Terrible venue. No heat. Instrutor was not prepared and read from the slides the whole time. Seemed like he kind of new what he was talking about. He was not very professional. I really didn't learn a whole lot from this 8 hour class to be honest. When he went to grade our tests, he had the wrong answer sheet!! If I wasn't getting a certification, I'd say it was a complete waste of an entire day. Trent C.

Training class was very thorough with the instructor being certain information was reviewed several times. The hands on training was helpful and allowed the steps required to connect with the information. The situational example stories were helpful in understanding each process.
Physically, the room was comfortable and breaks well timed and adequate. I would have preferred to have lunch included on site.

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.  |
