Interior and exterior containment strategies are the focus of module 4. This module is very interactive as we will review photos of the interior and exterior containment. Look for what is complying and out of compliance. Also, we will discuss different strategies you can use to save time yet work within the rules. Keeping the dust, you generate within the containment you build is one of the most crucial steps to compliance. After completing module 4 you will be armed with a wealth of knowledge on how to set up containments, but tools, and chemicals you may be able to use to save time, and money!

Setting up containment is only half the battle when conducting a successful lead-based paint renovation. In module 5 we will cover how traditional renovations create airborne dust.

Module 7 – Record Keeping

Record keeping is one of the most important modules. In this module, we will cover all the documents that you will need to maintain compliance. In addition, we have created a packet that you can download and add your certifications to. That packet can then be printed anytime you get a lead project and you will have what you need.
