EPA Lead Training Certification

Online, August 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - On April 22, 2010, the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Renovation, Repair and Painting Regulation (RRP Rule) became fully effective and enforceable.

The RRP Rule requirements will apply to all "renovations" in pre-1978 buildings where lead-based paint will be disturbed by the work. Legal entities performing these "renovations" will have to apply to EPA to become Certified Renovation Firms. Additionally, the firms' workers will have to be trained as "Certified Renovators" by EPA-accredited training providers or receive on-the-job training in lead-safe work practices from Certified Renovators.
