This was passed over a year ago. It sure should not cost a 1 man shop $200-$600 per day to implement.

Also, look at the second part of this list. You can easily be exempt from the practice for owner occupied properties with no children in the house.

Training, Certification, and Work Practice Requirements– Effective after April 22, 2010.

• Firms must be certified.
• Renovators must be trained.
• Lead-safe work practices must be followed. Examples of these practices include:
• Work-area containment to prevent dust and debris from leaving the work area.
• Prohibition of certain work practices like open-flame burning and the use of power tools without HEPA exhaust control.
• Thorough clean up followed by a verification procedure to minimize exposure to lead-based paint hazards.

• The training, certification, and work practice requirements do not apply where the firm obtained a signed statement from the owner that all of the following are met:
• The renovation will occur in the owner’s residence;
• No child under age 6 resides there;
• No woman who is pregnant resides there;
• The housing is not a child-occupied facility; and
• The owner acknowledges that the renovation firm will not be required to use the work practices contained in the rule.
