No.  Emergency renovations (other than interim controls performed in response to a child with an elevated blood lead level), are exempt from the training, certification, signposting, waste handling and containment requirements of the RRP Rule only to the extent necessary to respond to the emergency.  For example, most property management companies that do their own maintenance are likely to have at least one trained and certified renovator on staff to perform renovations, so these companies should be able to comply with the training and certification requirements on all renovations.  A firm that performs only emergency renovation work by definition can anticipate the need to perform emergency renovations and should be able to comply with the training and certification requirements of the RRP Rule.
