 Class schedule

Beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb more than 6 square feet of surface area in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978, or 20 square feet on the exterior of a building must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.  All renovation, repair and painting activities subject to the RRP rule must have a Certified Renovator assigned to the project who is trained by an EPA accredited training provider. Certification is obtained through an initial 8-hour training course which includes hands on exercises and subsequent renewal classes.  IHR is an EPA accredited RRP trainer for the Initial Certified Renovator Course. 

Who Must Follow the 2008 Lead Rule’s Requirements?
Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.  To protect against this risk, EPA issued a rule requiring lead-safe practices and other actions to prevent lead poisoning.  In general, anyone who is paid to perform work that disturbs paint in housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978, which may include, but is not limited to: 

	Home Improvement/Renovation Contractors
	Residential rental property owners/managers
	General contractors
	Remodelers/Carpenters
	Maintenance personnel
	Special trade contractors, including: painters, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, heating and air conditioning, drywall and finishing

What Activities Are Subject to the Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Program?
In general, any activity that disturbs paint in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities, including:

	Remodeling and repair/maintenance
	Electrical work
	Plumbing
