EPA Commercial & Home Remodeling Lead Law: What You Must Know Before You Renovate or Repair Older Properties

If You Are Making Renovations or Repairs to Child Occupied Properties Built Before 1978, You are Required to Comply with the NEW Environmental Protection Agency’s Renovation, Repair & Painting (RRP) Lead Law

Renovation activities including sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips which can be harmful to children and adults. In fact, lead dusting less than 1/16 of a sugar packet will cause irreparable damage to a child’s nervous system, cerebral function and general well being. For this reason, any activity that disturbs paint in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities are subject to this RRP Lead Law.

What RRP means to you…

Wood or any painted surface being repaired, renovated or painted (RRP) is assumed to be lead contaminated.
This applies to all painted surfaces inside or outside your property.
For interior work, the work area must be lead dust sealed and contained for 6 feet of the work area.
For exterior projects, the sealing and containment distance is 10 feet around the work area.
Specific disposal and wipe clean test methods with the assist of a HEPA vacuum are required for all interior and exterior projects.
At the completion of the job, a retest for lead dusting residue is required.
Penalties for noncompliance are $37,500 for each infraction.

Within this new law affecting repairs and renovations to residential properties, schools and childcare facilities, are activities that include:

  • Remodeling and repair/maintenance
  • Electrical work
  • Plumbing
  • Painting
  • Carpentry
  • Windows

Don’t risk your family’s health, talk to the certified lead removal specialists at PRO4YOU, LLC if you believe you have lead based paint or if you are considering a remodel on a home built prior to 1978. We will ensure that all lead will be removed and disposed of safely and provide you with a healthier home.

What You Need to Know About Lead Removal: Lead Removal Consumer Guidelines

Lead Abatement Services

PRO4YOU, LLC utilizes modern safe removal methods such as:

  • Wet scraping
  • Chemical strippers
  • Wet hand sanding
  • Low-temperature heat processes
  • Dry power sanding with HEPA vacuum attachment sanding.

Wet scraping
Risk
Dust may be produced during the scraping process if paint is not wet properly, spreading flakes of paint around the work-site.
Control

  • Wear a half face respirator with P2 particulate filter during removal and clean up.
  • Use plastic drop sheet that has the edges raised with wooden studs to collect water.
  • Collect paint debris properly.

Chemical strippers
Risk
Some strippers contain flammable solvents which can burn the skin or produce vapours that are highly toxic. Even after chemical stripping has been done, sanding after this method may still produce lead dust.
Control

  • Wear a half face respirator for organic vapours, safety glasses, overalls and chemically resistant gloves. If further sanding is required after applying a chemical stripper, wear a combined particulate and organic vapour filtration cartridge respirator.
  • Consult the MSDS for further information.
  • Ensure windows and doors are open.

Wet hand sanding
Risk
Dust may be produced if paint is not wet properly before sanding. Fine lead residue is left after water dries.
Control

  • Wear a half face respirator with P2 particulate filter during removal and clean up.
  • Use plastic drop sheet that has the edges raised with wooden studs to collect water.
  • Wash down surfaces carefully.

Dry power sanding with HEPA vacuum attachment sanding
Risk
Lead dust may be generated if the shroud of the sander extends beyond the surface being sanded or if the sander is not kept flat on the surface.
Control
Training and experience.

No two projects are the same, and most projects require many different lead paint removal processes and techniques.

What is an MSDS?

An MSDS is a document containing important information about a hazardous chemical (which may be hazardous substance and/or dangerous goods) and must state: a hazardous substance's product name the chemical and generic name of certain ingredients the chemical and physical properties of the hazardous substance health hazard information precautions for safe use and handling the manufacturer's or importer's name, Australian address and telephone number.

The MSDS provides employers, self-employed persons, workers and other health and safety representatives with the necessary information to safely manage the risk from hazardous substance exposure. It is important that everyone in the workplace knows how to read and interpret a MSDS.
