EPA Accredited: As of April 22, 2010, renovations conducted for compensation, must be performed by Certified Firms using Certified Renovators and lead safe work practices. Firms may begin applying for certification prior to taking the training. Accredited training is required for one to become a Certified Renovator. EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Final Rule (40 CFR 745) applies to pre-1978 housing or child occupied facilities (includes elementary schools, pre-K, day care and other facilities.) Firms that wish to work in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities must apply to EPA and pay a fee ($300) in order to become certified (renewable every 5 years). Certified renovators who have taken our training also meet HUD’s training requirements. Once an individual has successfully completed a Certified Renovator Course, delivered by an EPA-accredited training provider *, he becomes an EPA Certified Renovator. A refresher course is needed every 5 years to maintain certification. One of the two courses below are needed for individuals to become Certified Renovators. Except on HUD jobs, only one Certified Renovator is needed per job site. The Certified Renovator can train all the other workers on the job site. 8 hour Initial RRP Course: This course includes lecture, demonstrations and hands-on. Topics include: Background information, Regulations, How to use EPA Recognized test kits, Setup, During work activities, Cleaning and checking your work, Recordkeeping and Training Non-Certified Renovation Workers. 4 hour Refresher RRP Course: Those who have taken lead abatement supervisor, HUD Lead Safe and certain other courses may become Certified Renovators by taking this refresher. Requirements for Certificate Award: A course certificate will be awarded to those who successfully complete the course. Attendance of the entire class, demonstrating successful completion of hands-on activities, payment and passing an exam are required. *This accreditation for Chem Scope, Inc pertains only to training individuals in states such as CT who do not have EPA Authorized RRP programs, to obtain certification to conduct renovation, repair and painting pursuant to Section 402 of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA)(15 U.S.C. 2682). These courses do not certify one to do abatement and additional training that we offer is needed for OSHA compliance.

8 Hour Initial Course: $180.00, 1 Day Time(s): 8AM to 5PM 4 Hour Refresher Course: $125.00, 1/2 Day Time(s): 8AM to 12PM

This course meets the EPA requirements in 40 CFR Part 763 subpart E for school O&M workers who can do small scale projects involving less than 3 sq ft or 3 linear ft of Asbestos containing material. This course meets the current OSHA requirements in CFR 29 1926.1101 for workers doing Class III work, asbestos repair. DPH regulations for spot repairs are included in the course. This training is only valid for O&M type repair and maintenance activities disturbing less than 3 square ft and less than 3 lin ft of ACM and is not sufficient for larger scale removal work or collecting samples. Neither the U.S. nor the State of Connecticut have an approval available for this 16 hour course. However, OSHA and EPA recommend that training providers be used who are approved for other asbestos courses be used to conduct this training. Each persons must complete all 16 hours of the training in order to obtain documentation from the provider that the course was completed. There is a course examination. Annual refresher training is required by OSHA. Course topics covered are required by OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 and EPA 40 CFR 763.92(a)(2) and include the following topics (not limited to): Regulations, information regarding asbestos and its uses and forms, information regarding asbestos management plan (if applicable), methods of recognizing asbestos and damage to asbestos, health effects, smoking and asbestos; the nature of operations that could result in exposure to asbestos, the importance of necessary protective controls to minimize exposure including, engineering controls, work practices, respirators, housekeeping procedures, hygiene facilities, protective clothing, decontamination procedures, emergency procedures, waste disposal procedures, the contents of EPA 20T-2003, "Managing Asbestos In-Place" July 1990, the purpose, proper use, fitting instructions, and limitations of respirators as required by 29 CFR 1910.134; the appropriate work practices for performing the asbestos job, medical surveillance program requirements, names, addresses and phone numbers of public health organizations which provide information, materials for programs concerning smoking cessation, requirements for posting signs and affixing labels. For the additional “Hands-on” training the following is included (not limited to): Descriptions of the proper methods of handling ACBM, Information on the use of respiratory protection and other personal protection measures, and the use of respiratory protection, other personal protection measures, and good work practices. A prerequisite for those who wish to be fit tested is a medical approval form indicating the individual can wear a respirator and the respirator. Individuals must be clean shaven in the area of the respirator seal to the face. (Continued on next page)

OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 and EPA 40 CFR 763.92 (cont): Supplementary Notes and Examples: 1. The law allows workers with class III (O&M) training to remove, repair, encapsulate or otherwise handle less than 3 sq ft or 3 lin ft of asbestos containing material at a time. 2. If debris is on the ground and the amount of material damaged, including the debris on the ground is 3 sq ft or 3 lin ft or more, then this is an asbestos project and can’t be done with only class III training. For example, it is a project if 4 lin of pipe is damaged and 3 lin ft is on the floor. 3. If a 10 ft pipe with ACM insulation is to be cut at both ends and moved then this is also an asbestos project and can’t be done by O&M staff. Even if the amount of the cut is only a few inches, the law is based on the total sq ft or lin ft involved in the work. 4. If two pipe fittings are to be removed or repaired and each one is less than 3 sq ft or 3 lin ft, and the two fittings are widely separated, then this is a spot repair and can be done by O&M staff. Widely separated means that the two locations cannot reasonably be included in the same asbestos containment and done as a project. Conversely, repetitive work can’t be done within a small area at the same time unless the total work is less than 3 sq ft or 3 lin ft. 5. If a pipe ruptures and it is less than 3 sq ft or 3 lin ft it can be repaired by O&M staff. If the same pipe ruptures again tomorrow, it can again be repaired by O&M staff. However, if say 5 lin ft is damaged at one time, then you can’t go back and repair it in say two different days as an O&M job. 6. After a review of the regulations and discussions with Steve Dahlem (and Ron Skomro through Steve Dahlem) of the CT DPH on 10/17/13 an organization doing OSHA asbestos class III (or CT DPH Spot Repair) work is not required to be an Asbestos Contractor under 20-440-1 (CT DPH Regulation: Licensure and Training Requirements for Persons Engaged in Asbestos Abatement and Consultation Services) and need not be Licensed as an asbestos contractor as interpreted by the CT DPH (although technically OSHA class III work meets the definition of asbestos abatement). A further interpretation is that if the Class III or Spot repair work exceeds CT DPH notifiable amounts (10 linear ft or 25 square feet) then CT DPH interprets that this would required a CT DPH licensed Asbestos Contractor with properly licensed and training.
