Lead-based paint is common in homes built before 1978. Mold is a common result of hidden moisture problems and water damage to homes of any age. Lead and mold can pose a serious health risk to children, families, the workers and you. All remodeling and repair activities should use work methods that control the spread of mold spores, lead dust and debris.
LaHouse Home and Landscape Resource Center staff are hosting a free workshop to demonstrate safe lead and mold control work practices for residential renovators, remodelers, painters, carpenters, and other contractors.
Benefits:
· Attendees will learn the skills to safely renovate older housing and prevent childhood lead poisoning and remove mold damage safely.
· Participants who attend the training and complete and pass a brief test will receive a certificate of course completion. This certificate will qualify them to work with contractors receiving federal money for construction and maintenance work on older housing.
- With this training, you will only need to take a one-half day refresher training when the new EPA certified renovator training is offered in 2009.
