Since 1999, Iowa law has required contractors to give notification by giving an approved lead hazard information pamphlet to homeowners and tenants before beginning renovation, remodeling, or repainting. The rule requires notification when paint is disturbed in any residential property built before 1978. Contractors must distribute an approved lead hazard pamphlet and get a signature from owners and occupants of residence, to verify they have been informed. The intent of the rule is to ensure that families have the information they need to protect themselves.
Attendees of this webinar will learn about the new requirements as passed by the 2009 Iowa Legislature.
- Notification must be done in child-occupied facilities such as daycare centers.
- Contractors, landlords, and maintenance crews working in target housing or child-occupied facilities must be trained in and use lead safe work practices.
- Training includes an 8-hour Lead Safe Renovator Course and 4-hour refresher every 3 years.
- “Firms” that do this work must be certified, and at least one person from each firm must be certified as a lead-safe renovator.
Who must comply with these rules?
Anyone who disturbs paint in target housing and child-occupied facilities. This includes:
- Renovation and remodeling contractors
- Contractors who replace windows and doors
- Rental property owners
- Maintenance workers
- Painters
- Plumbers and Electricians
