NJ Star Ledger Featured Article: Find A Seasonal Job At Alpine

Alpine Painting and Sandblasting Contractors was featured on the front page of the New Jersey Star Ledger’s “Jobfinder” section. The article discusses the importance of seasonal jobs in the painting industry along with insightful quotes by Alpine’s Director of Operations and Safety, Sam Scaturro. Even during tough economic times Alpine constantly continues to grow and is always looking to hire new seasonal workers that are qualified to work in the field.

Much of the training for commercial painting is learned on the job by watching seasoned veterans. Additionally, three fourths of the training is about safety procedures in the shop. This training process can last over eight weeks before each individual is cleared for work in the field. All of Alpine’s seasonal employees must also undergo a drug test, background check, and hearing tests before they are hired.

While many seasonal jobs do not offer competitive pay, Alpine’s average seasonal worker is paid between $15-18 an hour. Four of Alpine’s seasonal workers earned over six figures. While Alpine strives to keep seasonal workers employed for as long as possible the harsh New Jersey winter months make it difficult to paint outside for part of the year.

You can apply for a seasonal painting job at Alpine by completing and submitting the online application and then wait to be called for an interview.

Green Building Programs Forecast to Skyrocket: PaintSquare News

Space covered by green building certification programs will increase from 6 billion square feet worldwide in 2010 to 53 billion square feet by 2020, a new market forecast says.

About 80% of green-certified building space will be in the commercial building sector by 2020, up from 73% today, reports Pike Research, of Boulder, Colo.

For commercial space, most green certifications will go to existing buildings, rather than new construction. In contrast, most of the residential focus will be on green certification of new properties, the company forecasts.

Green building techniques are increasingly becoming the standard within the architecture and construction industries,” says research analyst Eric Bloom. “There are three major drivers behind green building certifications: environmental responsibility, reducing operating expenses through energy efficiency, and regulatory requirements that mandate energy efficiency and certifications.”

Green building certification programs are becoming increasingly important tools to verify that a building meets a set of “green” criteria, including energy efficiency, sustainable materials selection, site location and indoor environmental quality. In addition to their environmental benefits, certified green buildings can sometimes command higher property values and rents, and green building certification can distinguish certain properties in highly competitive real estate markets, Pike notes.

In addition to the well-known Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program in the United States and the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) program in the United Kingdom, there are more than 20 established green building councils around the world, with more than 40 other national-scale groups seeking similar status in the next few years.

 While LEED and BREEAM will continue to dominate the North American and European green building markets, respectively, Pike Research anticipates that newly developed programs in China and India will represent about 30% of all certified green new construction by 2020.

Pike Research’s study, “Green Building Certification Programs,” analyzes the current market and regulatory conditions related to green building certification programs and provides forecasts for the growth of this industry.

 The report includes an examination of green building drivers, barriers, and likely shifts in the underlying construction market. It also features profiles of major industry players, including detailed descriptions of dozens of green building certification programs around the world. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download at http://www.pikeresearch.com/.

EPA and RRP's New Lead Safety Law

 So What's New?

          The EPA has put in place a  new lead-safety regulations that has been enforced as of April 22, 2010.  This action is in conjunction with the Renovation, Repair and Painting Program, (RRP) the EPA has provided a new set of comprehensive guidelines for contractors and property managers.  

Who do the rules apply to?
  • both interior and exterior painting and renovation projects at potential lead-based paint locations
  • houses, 
  • apartments,
  • child-occupied facilities such as schools and daycare centers built prior to 1978
Please Note:

          All painting firms must certified and each individual employee must be trained for lead-safe work practices.  Contractors must also provide the building owners with a new hazard pamphlet and post lead hazard signs around the property.  Finally, the EPA has mandated that contractors practice dust containment measures and follow waste disposal procedures.

Some EPA Exceptions

          There are also certain exceptions to the new safety regulations.  For example, if work includes only the application of paint and does not involve sanding, scraping, or other dust causing activities then the new RRP regulations do not apply.  Additionally small projects such as interior work that is less than six square feet of painted surfaces or less than 20 square feet of painted surfaces for exterior work do not apply. Furthermore, you can receive an exemption from the rules if the area has been declared free of all lead-based paint by a certified renovator that uses the EPA recognized test kit. 

Alpine's Got YOU Covered!

          Alpine is certified by the EPA and are well-versed in all of the new lead safety regulations.   Our craftsmen have been given extensive training about the new safety protocols and have had years of experience in the field to perfect their craft while following every safety measure right down to the letter.
