EPA RRP Extension Expires September 30, 2010


The EPA RRP Extension granted June 18, 2010 expires September 30, 2010. To be in compliance with the EPA Lead Renovator Rule, you must be registered in a course by September 30th and the class must be completed by December 31st.

Any building trades professional who disturbs lead paint while working in a pre-1978 home, school, or daycare, must be Lead-Safe Certified.

Many towns, cities, bid managers, and insurance companies are requiring proof of certification. Don't miss out on work and face heavy fines because you are not Certified.

Upon successful completion of this one day 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. The course presents procedures for minimizing lead dust generation and soil contamination during maintenance/renovation/remodeling activities as defined by the US EPA and US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). If these procedures are correctly implemented, the risk of lead exposure to employees, children, residents and families of employees can be minimized.
