Baker offers EPA workshop

Lead Safety Certification in Renovation, Repair and Painting
Baker College of Owosso is offering an EPA approved 8-hour workshop for individuals to become certified in lead safety renovation, repair and painting.
Federal law requires contractors who renovate homes and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 to be certified and trained in the use of lead-safe work practices. Renovation is defined as any activity that disturbs painted surfaces and includes most remodeling and repair work. Projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools must use certified renovators who are trained by EPA approved training providers.
The course will meet Tuesday, February 28, and Thursday, March 1, 2012 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Baker College, Bentley Campus. To register for the class or for more information, call (989) 729-3603 or visit us on the web at Bentley.Baker.edu.
