Course Overview:

As of April 22, 2010 the EPA's new "Renovation, Repair and Painting" (RRP) rule becomes effective for all of Florida. As of that date, any contractor, firm, or person working on, or renovating any, "Target Housing" (generally, target housing is any residential home or child care facility built before 1978) where more than 6 square feet of interior wall or more than 20 square feet of exterior wall is to be disturbed, repaired, altered or replaced - must be certified. Windows and doors however are subject to the lead RRP rules regardless of their size. Both the contracting firm and individual person MUST BE CERTIFIED by the EPA in accordance with the lead renovation and remodeling program.

Almost all contracting trades and their employees will be affected by this rule -- plumbers, electricians, painters, contractors, remodelers, cabinet installers, etc. Remember, the rule covers ANYONE - not just licensed contractors. Maintenance personnel, managers, etc. all must follow the new regulations. So contractors should plan to have their key superintendents certified.

The new RRP provision does NOT require complete removal of the lead (abatement); rather it requires a SPECIALIZED, ONE-DAY TRAINING program that teaches the dangers of lead dust, strict dust prevention and work control measures necessary to contain dust, and testing / clean-up verification procedures. It also prohibits certain work practices that produce quantities of dust. Training and certification MUST be obtained from an EPA-approved training provider.

The EPA is serious about this rule. Fines are $32,500 for each violation with an additional $32,500 per violation, or imprisonment, or both for willfully or knowingly violating the law.
