Russell Glass is a U.S. EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, trained and accredited in the use of lead-safe work practices. Lead poisoning is often associated with lead dust that is created during renovation and remodeling. It’s often from the paint that was used in many buildings and homes constructed before 1978. Lead poisoning can cause a wide rang of health issues. This program is prevention-based, cost-effective and a long-term bargain. The EPA is encouraging consumers to choose firms that have been trained in this area.
