Lead Based Paint Certified Renovator Training


Attention remodelers, painters, drywallers, window installers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters and anyone else who works on pre-1978 homes!

Under new EPA rules that go into effect in April, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and schools built before 1978 must be
certified and must follow specific work practices to minimize occupants' exposure to lead hazards.

All individuals performing activities that disturb painted surfaces must be certified renovators or have been trained by a certified renovator. A certified renovator must also be assigned to each renovation and perform all of the EPA-mandated responsibilities of a certified renovator.

Fines for non-compliance are anticipated to be anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000.
