On Sept. 16, SCI Waymart held the first Lead-Based Paint Certified Renovator initial certification class for inmates. The class consisted of training based on the Environmental Protection Agency's RRP Rule. The 8-hour class classified the inmates as Lead Based Paint Certified Renovators. The certification is valid for five years through the EPA. In the 8-hour day, inmates received classroom lecture instruction along with practical application skills in renovation, repair and painting of lead-based paint surfaces. In the picture below, inmates are sealing off critical barriers. At the end of the day, the inmates were given a written test in which all 10 inmates passed and received an EPA certification.
