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, child-care 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 is
mandatory if you do this work in North Carolina, and
certification will be governed by the Health Hazard
Control Unit (HHCU).
