Lead-Safe and Healthy Homes Work Practices is designed for contractors, supervisors, and workers.  This 1.5-day course is being piloted in May 2006 in Indianapolis, IN through a partnership with Marion County Health Department, Environmental Management Institute, Community Resources, Dennis Livingston, and National Center for Healthy Housing.  The course takes the EPA-HUD Lead-Safe Renovation and Remodeling Course and expands it to include crucial healthy homes construction concepts such as moisture control, combustion devices.  The goal is to get away from treating lead-safe work practices as an add-on practice that is done only when the client demands it.  The course is designed to help the small contractors:

• Integrate lead-safe and healthy homes work practices into a cohesive and efficient project design that is safer for workers and residents;

• Learn how to more effectively market these services; and

• Plan project to safely work in occupied housing.
