Do We All Need Lead Abatement Training Now
What is lead abatement really? And what is this new lead safety certification? There are a lot of rumors out there about lead abatement and lead safety certification and sometimes it can be hard to sort out the facts. EPA Training Program Manager, HUD Program Manager and Principal Instructor,Nike Air Max 2011 Grey Red Shoes, as well as a Project Manager for the Housing Rehab and Lead Hazard Control for one of New England's largest cities, I am able to clear up some of the mysteries and confusion behind these questions.
First of all, Lead Abatement doesn't mean the lead is really gone. Lead abatement means that lead hazards have either been removed or covered in a safe manner for at least 20 years. If you remove a door painted with lead paint and dispose of it, then replace that door with a new door without lead paint,MBT Shuguli GTX Schwarz Verkauf Männer, you have abated the lead in that door. But,Mbt Schuhe Wingu Verkauf Männer Weiß / Blau, you can also abate the lead in that door by covering it with specialized paint that has a 20 year warranty. If the lead is in a baseboard,The Title of My Website, you can cover it with Luan (glued and screwed), cap it with a piece of quarter round or other molding, caulk the openings, and you have abated the leaded baseboard, even though it is still there.
Those are the basics, but there are more regulations involved that vary by State and there are inspections required to be sure you comply with the abatement standard. This is NOT what the new lead safety rule is about, however. In fact, the new rule has nothing to do with abatement at all. Confused? You're not alone.
The truth is that renovators remove (abate) lead all the time in the course of their normal work as they remodel old houses, and they will continue to do so. They are not licensed lead abatement contractors,Christian Louboutin brevets relika 140mm gris chaussuresLivraison gratuite pour vous, and they don't have to be, as long as their intent is to remodel, and they don't advertise themselves as abaters,MBT Kisumu 2 Herren Sandalen - 008, or de-leaders. The purpose of the new RRP rule is to make sure that when you run into lead paint in the course of your renovation, you recognize it, and you handle it safely. We have learned that when you disturb (sand, scrape,Nike Shox Agent Mænds løbesko Hvid Rød, demolish,Christian Louboutin Rolando sortie 120mmvente pas cher, aggressively wash) older paint, you are releasing bits of poisonous dust into the air. This lead dust is causing learning disabilities, brain disorders, and other long term neurological problems in children - and high blood pressure, headaches, memory loss,see more, sexual dysfunction,Dame Nike Free Run 2 Grå Pink Sko, joint pain and a host of other symptom in adults.
The new lead safety laws and RRP Rule from EPA and HUD is NOT about lead abatement at all. But it is about doing the work you already do in a safer way. This RRP rule is the law, and the fines are steep for ignoring it.相关的主题文章：
