A $12.5 Million Reminder: Lead Paint Compliance Isn't Optional

A major home improvement store, Lowe’s, was recently fined $12.5 million. Why? Their contractors did not follow the EPA's Lead Paint Safety Rule (the RRP Rule) during renovations.

This is a big reminder: lead paint is still a serious problem today. If you work on homes built before 1978, you are dealing with lead paint. The rules are not optional.

What does this mean for you?

Safety First: Sanding or cutting into old paint creates poisonous lead dust. This dust is very dangerous for children and families. The rules exist to stop this dust.

Protect Your Business: Breaking these rules leads to huge fines and damages reputation.

It's the Law: The EPA requires firms and individuals to be trained and certified in lead-safe work practices when performing renovations, repairs, or painting in homes and child-occupied facilities built before 1978
