Mary Chabot is offering an eight-hour
training program for property owners and their agents interested
in becoming authorized to perform moderate-risk deleading.
Mary Chabot is a Realtor with Coldwell
Banker Residential Brokerage - Trust, and her primary market is
antique and historic homes throughout central Massachusetts and
northeast Connecticut. The love of older houses, and interest in
maintaining their integrity, has led her to become an instructor
for this course.The Instructor is certified by the MDPH/CLPPP program
to teach this course, and has taught several sessions a month since
2000.
Lead
poisoning is a completely preventable disease. The Childhood
Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) has made great strides
toward eliminating childhood lead poisoning in Massachusetts, even
though our housing stock is the second oldest in the nation. Despite
this progress, hundreds of children in Massachusetts are still
identified with high levels of lead in their blood each year. Most
are poisoned by leaded paint on the inside and outside of their
homes.
The Massachusetts Lead Law
(MGL Chapter 111 sec. 189A-199B) requires that owners of homes
built before 1978 and with children under the age of six living
in them correct any lead hazards on the property. The
law applies to owner occupied homes as well as to rental property.
In 1994 the Lead law was amended to
make it easier and less expensive for owners to delead their homes.
Part of these amendments includes Encapsulation, Low Risk Deleading,
Moderate Risk Deleading and Interim Control. This course will prepare
participants to apply any of these methods.
About
the course
The
training is for property owners and their agents who would like
to become authorized to perform moderate-risk deleading on the owner’s
home(s). The training is designed to give owners and agents an understanding
of the Lead Law and its requirements.
As a result of this course, participants
will be prepared to take a written exam, administered by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention
Program. The exam is mailed to participants after completion of
the course.
This course does not teach participants
the carpentry skills that are needed to complete the work successfully,
nor does this course allow the owner/agent to supervise others to
perform the work. Only those who successfully complete this
course are allowed to perform the actual work necessary for lead
abatement.

completion of the course means you have:
| |
Attended
the entire training. |

the exam with a score of 75% or better. |
