EPA New RRP
Certification Training
On April 22, 2008, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule under the authority of §402©(3) of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) to address leadbased paint hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities. The rule requires contractors to adopt certain safety measures while performing general renovation work that disturbs leadbased paint in target housing and childoccupied facilities constructed before 1978. The rule will fully take effect on April 22, 2010, and renovators will be required to apply for certification from the EPA and to adopt specific work practices designed to prevent lead contamination. EPA Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program, 40 C.F.R. § 745.
