Frequently Asked Questions
Are there projects that require two certified workers?
Yes, there are two different rules within the certification. The Environmental Protection Agencies rule is known as the Renovate, Repair, and Painting Rule. Also, the Department of Housing and Urban Developments Rule is known as the Lead Safe Housing Rule. If your project falls under the Lead Safe Housing Rule everyone would need to be certified. The only exception to this would be if your Certified Renovator designated for the project was also a Lead Abatement Supervisor. Then, the certified renovator designated for the project could train the other workers. That training can take place on the job over the course of several days, or in a classroom environment. Also, the certified renovator would not be able to leave the project.
Who needs EPA RRP Lead Renovator Training?
Contractors, repair businesses, and real estate professionals. If the contractor has at least one certified renovator, they can train the non-certified workers on the job or in a classroom environment prior to the work commencing for projects regulated by the EPA RRP rule.
Does My Business Need to Be Certified?
Firms that will be disturbing more than 2 square feet of lead-based coatings need to be certified. You can get certified by visiting the HTTPS://EPA.GOV/LEAD/GETCERTIFIED. The fee for certification is $300 every 5 years.
How Does the EPA Know I Exist?
We get this a lot in our class. There are several ways that they can easily find that out: Tax-ID number, permits pulled, and several other business functions become easily accessible. Furthermore, your customer’s neighbors have probably recently remodeled. Most likely, their contractor was certified and educated them on the dangers of lead-based paint. Finally, Fire, Police, EMS, and building inspectors are all trained to report violations.
What If I Am Caught Violating the Rule?
If you have been certified then the penalty can be as high as $75,000 per violation and jail time. If you haven’t been certified, you are eligible for a civil violation of $37,500 per violation. Keep in mind, this is per violation. You can have several violations on one job.
