EPA Lead Rule

Beginning April 2010, all contractors performing work that disturbs lead-based paint in homes, childcare facilities and schools built before 1978, must:

· Be EPA certified
· Provide notifications and recordkeeping
· Follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination
· Perform a cleaning verification after completion of the lead renovation work

The new regulation is called the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule) and applies to any renovation work in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities. A child-occupied facility includes schools, child care facilities, daycare facilities and other buildings where children under the age of 6 attend.
