Are your firm or customers involved with renovation, repair or painting work? If so, there is a new EPA regulation that could affect you and/or your firm if 6 square feet
or more of interior painted surfaces or 20 square feet or more of exterior painted surfaces will be disturbed during your
work.
Under the new EPA RRP rule, beginning April 22, 2010, contractors (painters, remodeling firms, plumbers,
etc..), and others performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb greater than the threshold level for
interior and/or exterior lead-based paint in homes, apartments, child care facilities, and schools (child-occupied facilities)
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 notification, paint testing, work practice, and final cleaning procedures
that must be followed, and most of these processes will be new to most renovation, repair, and painting contractors.
To become an EPA Certified Renovator, an individual must attend and successfully complete the Renovator Initial course.
The instructor, James F. Rizk, is an EPA accredited Lead-Based Paint Risk Assessor and accredited trainer.
The
deadline for firms performing or desiring to perform renovation, repair or painting was April 22, 2010. Don’t
waste another minute, register for this course and become certified today, as it can take up to two months to receive the
accreditation and longer if the EPA detects errors in the initial application.
What will you learn? How to work within the regulatory requirements of the EPA for target housing
and child-occupied facilities with lead-based paint.
