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.
