EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices by taking RRP classes in RI or RRP courses in RI. Individuals can become certified renovators by taking an eight-hour training course from an EPA-approved training provider.
Refresher ClassAlso, RRP refresher training class (RRP refresher training course) was developed by the U.S. EPA, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to re-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.
