Brief Summary:
A regulation which requires the construction company to help prevent lead poisoning of children is on track thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency. This occurs after more than two decades of delays and the regulation will take effect on April 22.

Short Response:
This is a positive decision and could potentially save many lives, now that the contractors will be trained and certified in lead safe work and containing their work areas which could help prevent other accidents from occuring.
