Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP)

COURSE LOCATION: Eagles Ridge Apartments in Battle Creek

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Eagles Ridge Apartments

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently enacted new regulations affecting contractors performing renovation work in residential dwellings or child-occupied facilities built before 1978.  This regulation is called “Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair, and Painting” (RRP).  Beginning in April 2010, any renovation work (including painting) done for compensation, which disturbs painted surfaces in residential dwellings or child-occupied facilities built before 1978, must be performed by an EPA certified company, using persons trained in lead-safe work practices.  Each job is required to have a Certified Renovator on-site to perform specific responsibilities.

To become a Certified Renovator, a person must attend an 8-hour EPA-approved training course .  

This training is by the Home Builders Association of Greater Kalamazoo.  Class size limited to 25 participants.  Course fee is $135 for members of the Kalamazoo or Battle Creek HBA and $185 for non-members.
