Obtain Required HUD Training For Yourself or Your Workers

Do you perform any repairs, maintenance, painting, rehabilitation, remodeling or renovations on housing built prior to 1978?

Does that housing receive any federal funding assistance including Section 8 subsidy?

If you answered YES to both questions above, you need to take Lead-Safe Work Practices Training.

A Cuyahoga County Board of Health Grant allows Tri-C to offer this class at $50.00 per participant!

Cuyahoga Community College, in collaboration with Mahoning County Healthy Homes, is sponsoring a One (1) day Lead-Safe Work Practices course to train workers to perform interim controls of lead hazards in federally-assisted housing, under the HUD Lead-Safe Housing Rule.

This training course is for contractors and workers who do rehabilitation or remodeling such as structural repairs, weatherization or unit upgrading.

This course will train students in procedures for working on and around lead-based paint without producing dust that could be hazardous to young children. Successful completion of the course qualifies the trainee to perform operations and maintenance and renovation, remodeling and rehabilitation activities in federally-assisted housing.

For more information/directions contact: Samantha Kaplan at (216) 987-2316 or E-mail: Samantha.Kaplan@tri-c.edu

This course is not intended for certification or licensing of inspectors, risk assessors, abatement supervisors, or abatement workers.
