Beginning on April 22, 2010 renovation, repair and painting contractors must:

·      be “RRP certified”

·      use lead safe work practices when working in homes built before 1978.

The RRP rule affects contractors, property managers and others who disturb known or presumed lead-based paint during renovation activities done for compensation.  The includes most repair, remodeling and maintenance jobs, such as window replacement, weatherization and demolition.  The rule applies to any work that disturbs painted surfaces in residential houses, apartments and child-occupies facilities such as schools and day-care centers built before 1978.  Fines for violating RRP Rule requirements can be up to $37,500 per incident.

Requirements for Contractors Include Certification & Training

·      Firms must have one or more “Certified Renovator” assigned to jobs where lead-based paint is disturbed.  To become certified, a person must successfully complete an EPA training course conducted by an EPA-accredited training provider.

·      All renovation workers must be trained.  They can be trained to use lead safe work practices on-the-job by a Certified Renovator if the work is not HUD regulated, or they can become Certified Renovators themselves.

·      Firms performing renovation, repair or painting work must also become certified.  This can be accomplished by applying to EPA and paying a fee.
