Why do you need this training?
As a result of the EPA RRP rule. If your company is performing work in homes and child-occupied facilities built prior to 1978.  Your firm must employ at least one Certified Renovator. In addition, your firm must be registered as a Lead Safe Certified Firm with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

What is considered qualifying work?
As a result of the rule, beginning in April 2010.  When you are performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in:

1. Homes
2. Child Care Facilities
3. Schools

Therefore a supervisor must be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination!

How do you ensure you are in compliance?
As a result of the EPA RRP rule there are 5 steps to be sure you are in compliance:

1. First of all, get registered for an EPA-approved lead renovator training course.
