Green Education Services Approved to Provide Lead-Safety Certification for Massachusetts Contractors
Special Rate of $199 For Certification Training
BOSTON, June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Education Services, an EPA Lead Certification and green jobs training provider, announced today that it has been approved as a Lead-Safe Renovator Training Provider in the state of Massachusetts to provide Lead-Safe Renovation Supervisor Certification. The certification is required for contractors, painters, and other renovation workers who perform work on housing or child-occupied facilities built before 1978 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Deleading and Lead-Safe Renovation Program amendments requiring this certification have been in place since July 2010.
With the announcement of its approval, Green Education Services will be launching Lead Renovator Certification courses throughout the state of Massachusetts including in Boston, Springfield, Braintree, and Marlborough. For the month of June, Green Education Services will be offering these courses at an introductory price of $199 per person. Classes are one day in length and cover lead-safe practices through classroom and hands-on experience. The course concludes with a certification exam to become a Lead-Safe Renovation Supervisor.
"The adverse health effects of lead dust and chips are a serious threat for both adults and children," commented Green Education Services CEO Zachary Rose. "We are proud to provide quality training on best lead paint practices, combined with the valuable certification for workers across the state."
Failure to comply with the state's new lead-paint safety requirements could result in fines of up to $5,000 per violation. In addition to taking the course and becoming a Certified Renovation Supervisor, workers must register their company as a Lead-Safe Renovation Contractor with the Massachusetts Department of Occupational Safety.
