Are you or your firm involved with renovation, repair or painting work? If so there is a new EPA regulation that will affect you/your firm if painted surfaces will be disturbed during work.
Under the new EPA RRP rule, beginning April 2010, contractors (painters, remodeling firms etc.), maintenance workers, and others performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, apartments, child care facilities, and schools 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 communication, paint testing, work practice and final cleaning issues that will be new to many.
To become a certified renovator, the individual must successfully complete the Renovator initial or Refresher course (refresher only for those currently licensed as a lead abatement supervisor/firm) conducted by The Environmental Institute (TEI) or other EPA or State-accredited RRP training provider.
All firms performing or desiring to perform renovation, repair or painting work must become certified by April 22, 2010. Once training is completed, firms can obtain certification by applying to EPA or to your State if it has an EPA-authorized RRP program beginning October 22, 2009.
Child-occupied facilities are defined as residential, public or commercial buildings where children under age six are present on a regular basis. The requirements apply to renovation, repair or painting activities. The rule does not apply to minor maintenance or repair activities where less than six square feet of lead-based paint is disturbed in a room or where less than 20 square feet of lead-based paint is disturbed on the exterior. Window replacement is not minor maintenance or repair.
This 1-day course was developed by the U.S. EPA, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to train renovation, repair, and painting contractors how to work safely in housing with lead-based paint and comply with EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, and HUD's Lead Safe Housing Rule.
Course Fee: $250 (includes exam)
