EPA Certification Requirement Info
Beginning April 22, 2010, paid contractors, maintenance workers, painters and others performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in housing and other child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must be certified. (Child-occupied facilities are those where children under age six are present on a regular basis.) The rule applies to all interior projects involving more than 6 square feet, exterior projects of more than 20 square feet and all window replacement, maintenance or repair.
All firms that perform renovation, repair or painting work are required to be EPA certified.
Firms must also have at least one “certified renovator” on the job site where lead-based paint is disturbed. To become a certified renovator, an individual must successfully complete the Lead Certified Renovator Training course conducted by an EPA-accredited provider and pass the certification exam (where applicable). The full course is eight hours.
Your certification is valid for five years from the date of completion of the course.
About the Course

The traditional renovation work you do now can create significant lead-dust hazards if lead-based paint is present and disturbed. • The leaded dust generated by traditional renovation work can cause lead poisoning in children. It can also poison pregnant women, yourself, your children, other workers and even pets. Practical changes in work practices can minimize and contain dust. The use of lead-safe work practices makes the job safer and reduces your liability exposure. • EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Final Rule (40 CFR 745) requires that renovations conducted for compensation, must be performed by Certified Firms using Certified Renovators. Renovation firms that wish to work in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities must apply to EPA and pay a fee in order to become certified. Renovators seeking to become Certified Renovators must successfully complete an EPA-accredited renovator course. This course is the EPA model course for Certified Renovators and as such meets all requirements in 40 CFR 745.90. • This course will teach you how to comply with the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule and the HUD Lead Safe Housing Rule, and how to perform lead-safe work practices safely and effectively.
