EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP Rule)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires all individuals paid to work on homes and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 to be properly trained and certified. This includes individuals who collect rent. Individuals must:
- Complete certification training from an accredited training provider.
- Notify and provide education to occupants prior to beginning renovations.
- Document that occupants were notified prior to beginning renovations. (See this sample pre-renovation form.)
- Use lead safe work practices during renovations.
Encourage your clients to “Look for the Logo.” Make sure your firm is included in the EPA’s searchable list of certified contractors.
