Trying to be the best me, I can be
Just had to retake the class for certification for the National Rule 6H. Runs out every five years. How many guys here are current in their certification? Anyone have any experiences with their local EPA Inspector? I was told that the fines for breaking any part of Rule 6H start at $1000 and can be as much as $10000 for both the Painter AND the Shop Owner.
This is something I never see discussed anywhere. I really don't think many small one man type places are even aware of it. If you are priming with anything larger than a 3 Oz. cup on the open shop floor you are breaking the Law. If you are a restoring/repairing for yourself you are allowed to do up to 2 vehicles annually at no profit. Anyone can make an anonymous call to the EPA to complain. If the EPA ever decided to really crack down and really police compliance to this law this would put a lot of small places out of business.
I'd like to hear some of your thoughts guys.
