## **New Shawn McCadden Videos About The EPA RRP Rule; RRP Information For Renovators**

![RRP Instructor Shawn McCadden](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/hs-fs/file-15747181-jpg/images/dsc00708-wr2.jpg)I recently completed a series of seven videos about the new EPA RRP rule. The RRP videos were done for Remodeling magazine. They are posted to the Remodeling TV area of Remodeling magazine’s web site.

The videos are sponsored by The Home Depot. The video series is titled “The Insider's Guide to the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule”. The series covers critical information about the Environmental Protection Agency's RRP rule and certification process, and explains how the rule may affect your business.

I had a lot of fun doing the videos. Lots of great people donated their time, knowledge and expertise. I also learned a lot from ![Chuck Green of Perpetual Motion Pictures](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/hs-fs/file-15737928-jpg/images/chuck_green_with_camera-wr.jpg)writing the script, interviewing contributors, editing the script with the magazine’s editor Sal Alfano, reviewing the raw footage, and working with the videographer, [Chuck Greeen of Perpetual Motion Pictures](http://www.perpetualmotionpictures.com/). Working with Chuck was a unique advantage. As a fellow remodeler and Certified Renovator, Chuck not only filmed and edited the videos, he also contributed greatly to the content and success of the whole project.

### **Here is a list of the videos, a brief description of what is discussed in each as well as links to view them:**

**Video One: [The EPA RRP Rule and Your Business](http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid424610586001?bclid=167667884001&bctid=359356614001)**

This video covers the business responsibilities, associated liabilities and risks related to the RRP Rule. [ Kermit Baker, Senior Research Fellow at Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies ](http://www.jchs.harvard.edu/people/kermit_baker.html)stresses that remodelers need to become experts in this area or leave the work to others who are. [Attorney Mike Sams of Kenney & Sams, P.C.](http://www.kandslegal.com/litigation-attorneys/michael-p-sams.php) warns about the legal liabilities for failure to follow the regulations. Shawn McCadden discusses the firm and worker certification process, related fees as well as certified renovator and firm responsibilities.

 

**Video Two: [RRP Training ](http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid424610586001?bclid=167667884001&bctid=359356615001)**

This video covers the worker training requirements of the rule and the content of the EPA Certified Renovator training class. Shawn McCadden also discusses the importance and benefits of [choosing a training class](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/rrpedia/bid/38600/Concerns-about-misiformation-at-EPA-RRP-Certified-Renovator-Training) conducted by a training instructor with real life renovation experience.

 

**Video Three: [EPA RRP Notification Requirements ](http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid424610586001?bclid=167667884001&bctid=359355027001)**

The EPA RRP rule specifies certain [notification requirements ](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/rrpedia/bid/39210/What-EPA-RRP-documentation-must-be-given-to-the-owner-or-occupant)depending on where the work is done and who occupies and or visits the building being renovated. This video covers these requirements, [related firm documentation requirements](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/rrpedia/bid/38727/What-documents-do-I-need-to-keep-or-have-under-the-EPA-RRP-rule) as well as the [information and documentation that must be given to property owners and others](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/rrpedia/bid/45585/RRP-Renovation-Checklist-Must-Be-Given-to-Certain-Parties). Shawn McCadden also discusses many of the important details that must be included in the required documentation.

 

**Video Four: [RRP Work Practices](http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid424610586001?bclid=167667884001&bctid=359356617001) **

This video includes a summary of the required lead-safe work practices required under the RRP Rule. Shawn McCadden walks through critical considerations related to the rule that must be followed to stay in compliance with the rule, protect occupants and workers and to control costs. Shawn also discusses interior and exterior cleaning and cleaning verification requirements.

 

**Video Five: [RRP Record Keeping ](http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid424610586001?bclid=167667884001&bctid=359356618001)**

Inspection of the required documentation under the rule will be a major enforcement tool used by EPA. In this video Shawn McCadden discusses the [required documentation related to worksite activities](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/rrpedia/bid/45585/RRP-Renovation-Checklist-Must-Be-Given-to-Certain-Parties) as well as many business administration activities. [Mark Paskell of the Contractor Coaching Partnership ](https://www.thecontractorcoachingpartnership.com/)shares a few of the many methods EPA will have at their disposal to inspect and verify a firm’s compliance with the rule. Shawn adds several more methods to Mark’s list and also discusses the [penalties and fines EPA can assess on violators](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/rrpedia/bid/45904/EPA-Releases-Penalty-Guidelines-for-RRP-Enforcement).

 

**Video Six: [Exemptions to RRP Work Practices](http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid424610586001?bclid=167667884001&bctid=359350220001)**

In this video Shawn McCadden gives examples of when, where and why the RRP rule and work practices are not required under the rule. Shawn stresses that even if the work practices are not required under the RRP rule, your business will still be liable if lead poisoning and or contamination results from the way work is performed. Shawn and contractor insurance expert [Tom Messier of Mason and Mason Insurance](http://www.mmins.com/bio_tmessier.html) both stress the importance of verifying proper and adequate insurance coverage to protect your business, available coverage options as well as related costs for coverage.

 

**Video Seven: [Business Considerations and Summary](http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid424610586001?bclid=167667884001&bctid=359356619001)**

Shawn Mccadden stresses that this new rule is a game changer. Shawn tells us businesses must take this new rule seriously and adjust their business practices accordingly to protect profits and control liabilities. [Mark Paskell of the Contractor Coaching Partnership](https://www.thecontractorcoachingpartnership.com/) stresses that contractors should verify that the documentation forms they use will comply with the rule and also assist the business in managing and performing the work. Gerry McGonagle of [Belfor Property Restoration](http://www.belforboston.com/) offers his advice on qualifying the right employees to do the work. Shawn also discusses some of the new responsibilities the rule brings with it for employees in all positions within the business.
