EPA Law Effective 4/22/10

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a new Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule in April, 2010.  The rule requires firms and individuals involved in interior and exterior renovation repair and painting to be certified be certified and follow specific lead-safe work practices to minimize exposure to lead-based paint dust.

Under the rule, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based dust paint in homes, child care facilities and schools that were built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.  For most individuals, eight hours of training is required.  However, individuals who have successfully completed renovation courses developed by HUD, the EPA or an abatement worker or supervisor course accredited by the EPA or an authorized State or Tribal program, can become certified renovators by taking a four-hour EPA-accredited renovator refresher training course.

The Instructor was very nice to learn by and made it enjoyable and educational.  He was very patient with the many questions being asked and answered each one.

I took lead certification training a couple years ago.  Why do I need this course?  This RRP course is a new discipline that was established by the EPA in 2008 and went into effect 4/22/10.  The first courses were available in 2009.  If your certificate is dated before 2009 and does not have your picture on it, you need to take this RRP course in order to be compliant with the law.
