Lead Paint

EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule requires anyone (remodeling, renovation and painting contractors and most other trades) who works in pre-1978 housing for compensation and who might disturb painted surfaces to become an EPA Certified Renovator by taking a “Lead Safe Work Practices” RRP class from an EPA-accredited training provider.

The RRP rule covers a lot of jobs: renovation, remodeling, painting, window replacement, plumbing, electrical work, heating & air-conditioning, demolition, plus work performed by trades like carpenters, electricians, and handymen. The rule also applies to persons working for rental property owners, schools, and daycare providers. And, it also applies to nonprofits and governmental agencies.
