EPA Certified Lead Paint Renovator

Are you involved in retrofit and or weatherization work in child occupied facilities? If so, we can help you become a certified Lead Based Paint Renovator.

EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices.

Contractors must use lead-safe work practices and follow these three simple procedures:

            *  Contain the work area.
            *  Minimize dust.
            *  Clean up thoroughly.

Training Dates:   One Day Course
