11/11 EPA RRP Lead Safety Certification Training
It’s The Law!
The EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Final Rule (40 CFR 745) requires that renovations conducted for compensation in pre-1978 homes and child occupied facilities must be performed by certified firms using certified renovators.
This includes General Contractors, HVAC, Painters, Plumbers, Carpenter, Electricians, Window & Door Replacers, Roofers, and Property Managers. To become a certified renovator, individuals must complete an 8-hour initial course and successfully complete an exam. As of April 2010, Federal law requires contractors to become EPA Lead Certified Renovators.
