The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently granted certification to Horizon Builders, allowing them to conduct Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) activities in target housing and child-occupied facilities. This prestigious certification, in accordance with 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart E, highlights Horizon Builders' adherence to stringent standards and regulations, signifying their commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being.
EPA certification, a testament to Horizon Builders' expertise and dedication, signifies several key aspects:

As emphasized by Michelle Price, Chief of Lead, Heavy Metals, and Inorganics Branch, EPA reserves the right to conduct audits and inspections to ensure ongoing adherence to standards. This reflects Horizon Builders' commitment to continuous improvement and upholding safety benchmarks.
Commitment to Excellence: Achieving EPA certification isn't merely a one-time accomplishment. It's an ongoing commitment to excellence. Any alterations or deviations that might compromise safety standards could lead to revocation or suspension of the certification. Horizon Builders stands resolute in its pledge to uphold the highest safety protocols, ensuring the well-being of their clients and the environment.
