EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting RuleAs a contractor, you play an important role in protecting public health by helping prevent lead exposure. Ordinary renovation and maintenance activities can create dust that contains lead––even small amounts of lead can harm children and adults.
New Rules for Contractors
Beginning April 2010 contractors performing work that disturbs lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must:
- Be EPA certified, and
- Follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
To learn more about how you can meet these requirements contact the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323) or visit www.epa.gov/lead.
Be prepared for these new requirements!
