Read on for our history:
The Western Regional Lead Training Center (WRLTC) is one of five regional training centers established in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The purpose of the WRLTC is to facilitate the development of a national network of professionals qualified to identify and control lead in resident paint, dust and soil. The program is part of the EPA's Strategy to reduce lead exposure hazards to children – the individuals most likely to suffer the effects of lead contacts.
The Western Regional Lead Training Center (WRLTC) provides comprehensive training for lead abatement supervisors/contractors, project designer, inspectors, risk assessors and workers. Refresher courses, lead-safe work practices and lead awareness classes are also available. WRLTC works closely with EPA region x and its respective state agencies in developing high-quality lead training programs that promote public health and safety and contribute to the expanding pool of qualified professionals in the abatement field.
WRLTC courses provide state-of-the-art training to meet the needs of practitioners who must understand and satisfy the regulatory requirements of the EPA, HUD, OSHA, and other federal or state agencies. These requirements include the HUD Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing, the EPA and HUD Real Estate Notification and Disclosure Rule which is one of the newest established by the Residential Lead-Based Paint Reduction Act of 1992 (known as Title X), and Oregon's Lead Law (ORS 431,920).
WRLTC serves EPA Region X which consists of Oregon, Washington, Open enrollment classes are regularly scheduled in Portland, Seattle, and other cities as demand warrants.
Contract Classes Available
In addition to the open enrollment cources listed in this brochure, the WRLTC can provide on-site workshops for organizations with 5 or more individuals in need of training.
