Local Groups Band Together To Get The Lead Out
|
Awareness of the health hazards caused by lead--especially lead-based paint--has grown in recent years. But the lack of properly trained and certified contractors and workers remains an issue. A partnership between Habitat for Humanity, the Sugar River Valley Regional Tech Center (SRVRTC) in Claremont, Sullivan County, Southwestern Community Services, and the Greater Sullivan County Public Health Network is hoping to change that. Last month a 4-day training class was held at the Sullivan County complex in Unity that trained 10 students in lead hazard abatement. Funding for the class was provided by the Department of Health and Human Services and supported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority. Receiving training were two instructors from the Tech Center, two people from Habitat for Humanity, local contractor Jon Nelson, of Concept Carpentry and five inmates from the Dept. of Corrections who participate in a work release program.
