A&J Painting Inc. Details Lead-Safe Painting Standards
A&J Painting Inc. applies lead-safe protocols including wet methods and HEPA vacuuming to protect residents, with Alameda County reporting 142 children with elevated blood lead levels from 2019-2021.
- On Tuesday, A&J Painting reinforced its commitment to lead-safe practices for pre-1978 properties and outlined safety protocols across the East Bay.
- With approximately 87 percent of homes built before 1940, the EPA mandates RRP Rule compliance, as 142 children in Alameda report elevated lead levels, said Alan Joyce.
- Protocols include containment using polyethylene sheeting, wet scraping, and HEPA vacuum cleanup, with proper containment remaining a primary preventive measure recommended by health authorities.
- Owner Alan Joyce obtained Lead-Safe Certification in 2002, eight years before the RRP Rule became mandatory, and Joyce stated, 'We acknowledge that lead-safe procedures add time and cost to a project.'
- Beyond lead-safe work, property owners can contact the company at 292-3668.
