Seminar No.3 - Lead Based Paint: An Overview-Seven Steps to Lead Based Paint Safety and Compliance
Any pre-1978 residential property that is acquired, rehabilitated or assisted with HUD funding (such as HOME and CDBG) is subject to HUD Lead-Based Paint rules. If you haven't been trained before, or if it’s been several years and you want a refresher in the rules, this seminar will help you comply with the complicated Federal rule by following seven steps.
In addition, the EPA has announced new rules governing all renovations that will begin to take effect in 2009 - 2010. This course will provide an introduction to these new requirements that apply to all non-Federally funded rehabilitation.
The seminar will include advice on how to manage and oversee the process. It will also provide you with guidance and checklists on how to document your compliance.
Monte Franke of Franke Consulting will deliver the seminar. He has worked for the HUD Office of Healthy Homes and LBP Hazards, and has delivered HUD LBP compliance training nationwide.
