It is most important that all contractors follow the RRP work practice standards. However, EPA is providing additional time for renovation firms and workers to obtain the necessary training and certifications before the enforcement of the firm certification and individual renovator requirements begins. Therefore, renovators who have not been able to complete the training requirements are advised to review EPA’s model training materials available at http://epa.gov/lead/training.html. Additional information on lead-safe work practices can be found at https://www.epa.gov/lead/small-entity-compliance-guiderenovate-right-epas-lead-based-paint-renovation-repair-and or obtained from the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323).
