Lead-Safe Contractor

On April 22, 2010, new rules went into effect regarding work that disturbs lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978. Until 1978 many paints contained lead. Ordinary renovation and maintenance activities in buildings built before 1978 can create dust that contains lead.

Lead paint dust can be dangerous, and it doesn't take a lot of dust to cause harm to children and adults. Children who ingest even small amounts of lead dust can develop brain damage, behavior or learning problems, and have a high probability of delinquency. Adults who inhale dust from lead-based paint can have a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes.

Contractors are required to be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. These work practices protect residents from the dust that may contain lead by:

• containing work areas (to limit any potential exposure to residents)
• minimizing the dust
• leaving the work area clean

Southland Insulators and its employees completed a program at New River Center for Energy Research & Training and are certified by the E.P.A. to perform these lead-safe work practices.

When you decide to have sidewall work done and your home was built prior to 1978, we will provide you with information that explains basic facts about lead and lead safety. When these procedures are followed, you can be confident that your health is not at risk.
