Pretty good course. A lot of information covered in 8 hours. Instructor was experienced and able to explain items and processes verbally though we did not have a lot of actual hands on. Very good at explaining the key processes especially containment.

Bruce was very friendly, spoke clearly and quickly. I didnt think that I had any trouble understanding him or the things he was teaching until I saw the questions on the test in front of me. I thought by Bruce repeating several import technics or policies that they would be phrased the same way on the test. That was not the case all of the questions were phrased in a completely different manner than how Bruce taught them. One specific question made you think that the answer should have been a yes or no answer yet thet way it was phrased on test it completely confused most of the class. I heard other people bringing it up, and complaining to the the teacher. Yensy R.

Please note: this product is sent via Fedex to your mailing
address and will not be delivered in class, as it is for use on an RRP job site and is
separate from the class manual. Please allow 3-5 business days for shipping.
The RRP Project Binder & Tutorial is an optional record-keeping tool that is perfect for
compiling and retaining all required documents to be in compliance with the EPA Renovation
Repair and Painting Rule (40 CFR Part 745). The Binder is the essential tool for
step-by-step instructions on "how to" complete forms and letters that are included in the
Renovation Repair and Painting Rule Project Binder. It is recommended that each renovation
project retain a Project Binder & Tutorial on-site for the duration of the project. The
Project Binder is to be retained after the completion of the project for a period of three
years, accessible by the EPA for possible spontaneous audit.
For those working in EPA-authorized states including AL, DE, GA, IA, KS, MA, MS, NC, OK, OR, RI, UT, WA or WI there may be additional or alternate record-keeping requirements from what is presented in the RRP Project Binder. Please check with your local and state lead programs to confirm the work practices and record-keeping required for RRP work in your area. The following forms are incorporated into the Project Binder:
The Environmental Protection Agency has begun enforcement of lead-related issues within the residential construction industry. Reports of violations and fines are being released constantly. The primary violation is non-compliance of required paperwork.  |
