Lead Safety 8-Hr. Certification
The Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule establishes requirements for firms and individuals performing renovations, and affects contractors, property managers and others who disturb painted surfaces. It applies to work in houses, apartments and child-occupied facilities (such as schools and child care centers) built before 1978. It includes pre-renovation education requirements as well as training, firm certification and work practice requirements.
In general, anyone who is paid to perform work that disturbs paint in housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must be certified. This includes all firms, even sole proprietorships.
Examples of the types of firms covered:
- Residential rental property owners/managers;
- General contractors; and
- Special trade contractors, including painters, plumbers, carpenters and electricians.
Firms cannot advertise or perform renovation activities covered by the RRP Rule in homes or child-occupied facilities built before 1978 without firm certification.
Lead Safety 4-Hr. Refresher
To remain certified a renovator must complete a refresher training course before their current certification expires.
For recertification, renovators must take a 4-hour refresher training that includes hands-on learning every other time they take the refresher course.
Renovators who take the online refresher training will be certified for three years; renovators who take the hands-on training in the refresher course will be certified for five years.
If certification expires, then the 8-hour course must be taken again to regain certification.
