Info on the RRP rule
We all know about lead paint, but did you know that if you're not following the guidelines set forth by the EPA you could be fined $35.5k. Not to mention causing yourself and others health issues. They have an 8 hr, or less, containment class that will teach you what you need to know. They have an abatement (removal) class as well.
"Homes built before 1978 are much more likely to have lead-based paint. To protect families from exposure to harmful lead dust from lead-based paint, EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes have their firm certified by EPA (or an EPA authorized state), use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers and follow lead-safe work practices."
That would also include sole proprietorships and LLC.
