This 8-hour EPA approved course will certify participants for the new Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (Lead Renovators) training requirements. In 2008 the US EPA announced new rules for contractors who renovate or repair housing, childcare facilities or schools built before 1978.

Under the new rules, contractors and workers must have documented training and practice lead-safe work practices to reduce potential lead exposures during renovation and repair activities. The requirements apply to anyone, such as painters, plumbers, electricians, and contractors, who could potentially expose children to lead dust during their work. This certification will be mandatory April 2010.
