EPA's Lead-Safe Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rules to Take Effect April 2010

EPA's RRP Program is a federal regulatory program affecting construction firms and individual workers who disturb painted surfaces. It applies to residential houses, apartments and child-occupied facilities such as schools and day-care centers built before 1978. It includes training, certification and work practice requirements that take effect in April 2010, as well as pre-renovation education requirements that are currently in effect. Renovation is broadly defined as any activity that disturbs painted surfaces and includes most repair, remodeling and maintenance activities, including window replacement. Because the term "renovation" is defined so broadly, many contractors who are not generally considered "renovators," as that term is commonly used, are considered to be "renovators" under the RRP Program and must follow the rule's requirements.
