The EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule is the most important federal lead regulation developed in the past 10 years. The goal is to ensure the use of lead-safe work practices in homes and child-occupied facilities and may be extended to public and commercial buildings in the future. The RRP Rule went into effect April 22, 2010; all renovators are required by law to attend and pass an eight-hour Certified Lead Renovator course before starting work in homes built prior to 1978. Failure to complete this training may result in fines being imposed. This course could also earn you up to 8 credits towards your new CSL Continuing Educational Credits requirements (must have been taken after Nov. 8, 2011)! Earn your EPA Certification by attending one of our many scheduled EPA and Lead Safe Renovator Classes.
