 EPA  CERTIFIED  LEAD  RENOVATOR  INITIAL  8-­‐HOUR  TRAINING    

This  course  was  developed  by  the  U.S  Environmental  Protection  Agency  (EPA),  in  collaboration  with  the  U.S.  Department  of  Housing  and  Urban  Development  (HUD).  The  purpose  of  the  course  is  to  train  renovation,  repair,  and  painting  contractors  how  to  work  safely  in  pre-­‐1978  housing  and  child-­‐occupied  facilities  with  lead-­‐based  paint  and  comply  with  EPA’s  Renovation,  Repair,  and  Painting  (RRP)  Rule,  and  HUD’s  Lead  Safe  Housing  Rule.  This  course  also  satisfies  the  training  requirements  for  The  Department  of  Energy  Lead-­‐Safe  Weatherization  Guidance  (DOE  LSW).    Who  needs  this  certification?  Renovators,  remodelers,  painters,  maintenance  personnel,  and  any  other  workers  removing  or  modifying  painted  surfaces  for  compensation  (40  CFR  Part  745.82).  They  likely  will  be  taking  the  course  to  obtain  EPA  certification  as  a  Certified  Renovator,  which  will  enhance  their  credentials  as  private  contractors  and  also  satisfy  HUD  requirements  for  interim  controls  training  in  Federally-­‐assisted  target  housing.  The  HUD-­‐related  material  will  be  covered,  even  if  students  are  not  currently  working  in  Federally-­‐assisted  target  housing  units.  All  renovators  are  potential  HUD  contractors  and  should  know  and  understand  this  information.
