Did you know??

• Lead based paint was banned in 1977 from residential use
• Symptoms of Lead Poisoning are easily misinterpreted by medical personnel
• One gram of lead-based paint can contaminate a large area!

Any contractor performing qualifying renovation, repair, or painting (RRP) work on pre-1978 homes or child-occupied facilities must employ at least one Certified Renovator who has successfully completed this training. Companies must also submit an application to register as a Lead Safe Certified Firm with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the EPA-Authorized State in which RRP work will be performed.

This course follows the EPA model accreditation program and was developed by Mr. James Rizk, a certified industrial hygienist with over 30 years of experience performing lead inspections and abatement oversight. The objective of this course is to prepare Certified Renovators to use lead-safe work practices to prevent creation of lead hazards during renovation, repair and painting work in pre-1978 housing and child occupied facilities.
