Do you work for or manage a firm that performs work involving renovation, repair, or painting? If so, there is a new EPA regulation that could affect you and/or your firm if 6 square feet or more of interior painted surfaces or 20 square feet or more of exterior painted surfaces will be disturbed during your work. Under the EPA RRP rule, beginning April 22, 2010, contractors (painters, remodeling firms, plumbers, etc.), and others performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb greater than the threshold level for interior and/or exterior lead-based paint in homes, apartments, child care facilities, and schools (child-occupied facilities) built before 1978 must be certified. Also, firms must have at least one “Certified Renovator” assigned to jobs where lead-based paint is disturbed. There are notification, paint testing, work practice and final cleaning issues that must be carried out, and most of these processes will be new to most remediation contractors.  To become an EPA Certified Renovator, an individual must attend and successfully complete the Renovator Initial course conducted by an EPA accredited RRP training provider.   In addition a firm application must be submitted to the EPA.  Our principal instructor is James Rizk, an EPA accredited Lead-Based Paint Risk Assessor.

What will you learn? How to work within the regulatory requirements of the EPA for target housing and child-occupied facilities with lead-based paint. You can read more about the EPA regulations and requirements at:
