EPA-Accredited Renovation, Repair, and
Painting Program (RRP) Training Providers

If you install intrusion and fire alarms in residential structures built prior to 1978, then you are subject to new federal regulations issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed to protect children from lead-based paint hazards.

The Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule is set to go into effect April 22, 2010 and requires businesses and individuals involved in interior and exterior renovation repair and painting to be certified and follow specific lead-safe work practices to minimize exposure to lead-based paint dust. Minor repair or maintenance activities – less than 6 square feet per interior room or 20 square feet per exterior project – are exempt from the requirements.

In a conversation ESA had with representatives from EPA, it was made clear that any work done in pre-1978 homes that exceeded the 6 square feet exemption would be covered by the rule. According to the EPA, it does not matter what type of work is being performed in the home – any time more than 6 square feet is disturbed, the individual performing such work must be certified. More>>
