City of Xenia Announces EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting Initial Training Course

In order to participate in City of Xenia HUD-funded programs, contractors must have this training!

Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.  To protect against this risk, in April 2008, 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 (RRP) 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.
The City of Xenia has scheduled a class for this certification
to be held in Xenia,Ohio.

Training will be provided by: The InService Training Network, Inc.

When:  August 26, 2009   8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Where:  The Xenia Service Center, 966 Towler Road, Xenia, Ohio
