Effective April 22, 2010, anyone who performs renovations, repairs, or painting in pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities must be EPA Lead Safe Certified. Individuals and firms that are not certified could face fines of up to $37,500 per day.

This new EPA law applies if your project disturbs:
  • More than 6 square feet of interior painted surface AND/OR
  • More than 20 square feet of exterior painted surface

The Lead Renovator Certification Initial course is 8 hours in length and includes both EPA-approved lead safety training and certification. Any contractor performing qualifying work must employ at least one Certified Renovator who has successfully completed this training, in addition to being registered as a Lead Safe Certified Firm with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The course concludes with a 25 question EPA-certification exam.

There are 5 steps to be sure you are in compliance:

  1. Get registered for an EPA-approved lead certification course
  2. Submit an application to EPA on behalf of your company
  3. Complete the training in a public or private workshop
  4. Pass the 25-question certification exam given in class
  5. Receive approval from EPA and you are in the clear!

This course is provided by an approved EPA Trainer and this will satisfy the new requirement for individuals to attain EPA lead certification in Lead Paint Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP). Attendees who pass the certification exam will be certified as renovators to perform lead-safe work.

Average Rating: (4.9 out of 5 stars - 7 student reviews)

Matt was great! His thorough knowledge of the material helped greatly. He made a very dry subject interesting. The material is difficult to comprehend in itself. Matt did not tire to answer questions any time during the course, if any of us needed clarification , or did not understand something. It was refreshing to have it presented in a plain language, intelligible fashion. The Hands on training was fun, made the material palatable, and summed up the class.

Matt did a very thorough job with some pretty dry material. He kept the interest of the class and was able to answer every question posed to him by the group. As a result, I felt that learning was high and it was a great experience for some training that I really didn't expect to find very interesting. Great job.
