Renovators

On April 22, 2010, the EPA issued a federal mandate requiring contractors renovating, repairing or painting structures built before 1978, to test for lead and employ lead-safe practices.

3M™ LeadCheck™ Swabs, was the first commercially available instant lead detection test recognized by the EPA for use on wood and metal. As of April 1, 2012 3M™ LeadCheck™ Swabs are also EPA recognized for use on drywall and plaster surfaces.

While the EPA RRP compliance program will have a significant impact on lead exposure in children, this effort may present contractors with a host of job-related problems that incur additional costs, lost time, and complicated testing procedures. EPA recognized 3M™ LeadCheck™ Swabs instantly eliminate these problems.
