EPA Lead-Safe Certified
We take safety seriously. Safety for our employees and, just as important, safety for our customers.
When your home or certain other child-occupied facility was built before 1978, it is critically important that the contractor you are working with is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Contractor. Also, their employees and any others working on your property must be formally trained and tested to complete Lead-Safe work practices.
Diaz Painting is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm and our employees have completed EPA RRP Training and Testing. Working with Diaz Painting provides you with peace-of-mind. Your lead-based paint project will be completed using the jobsite and worker safety measures that meet or exceed the mandated EPA Lead-Safe rules and regulations.
The EPA’s 2008 Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule (as amended in 2010 and 2011), aims to protect the public from lead-based paint hazards associated with renovation, repair and painting activities. These activities can create hazardous lead dust when surfaces with lead paint, even from many decades ago, are disturbed. The rule requires workers to be certified and trained in the use of lead-safe work practices, and requires renovation, repair, and painting firms to be EPA-certified. These requirements became fully effective April 22, 2010.
