Lead safe "Certification Renovator" is the EPA required training for firms or individuals involved in renovation, repair and training. Under the 2010 EPA Lead, Renovation, Repair & Painting  (RRP) Rule, contractors, renovators, remodelers, painters, maintenance workers, volunteers, and others performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb painted surfaces in homes, apartments, child care facilities and schools built before 1978 must be certified.  Firms must have at least one "Certified Renovator" assigned to jobs where lead-based paint is disturbed.

How do you become a "Certified Renovator"?  An individual must successfully complete the Renovator initial (8 hours) conducted by an EPA or State-accredited RRP training provider such as Terese Churchill of EverGreen Environmental Health & Safety Inc.  Firms who knowingly or willingly violate the EPA regulation may be fined up to $37,500 per violation and/or face imprisonment.

Upon successful completion of this 8-hour course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion stating that you are trained in lead safe work practices and meet the requirements of EPA Lead Safety RRP Rule.

 Facts: by the numbers

*         35 million homes have lead paint
*         8.4 renovation events happen each year
*         235,000 firms will need RRP Certification
*         $32,500 per day for violation of the rule, enforceable by any individual, not just Federal, State or local government employees.
