RRP – Renovation Repair and Painting
Usual restoration activities like cutting, sanding, and demolition can produce hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be disadvantageous to children and adults.
To protect individual and environment against this risk US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a rule on April 22, 2008 — requiring the use of lead-safe practices like the use of a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter equipments such as HEPA Vacuum and additional actions targeted at preventing lead poisoning. Under the new rule, imposed April 22, 2010, contractors doing renovation repair and painting (RRP) projects that disturb lead-based paint in home facilities, day care centers, and schools constructed before 1978 must be EPA certified and must abide specific work practices to avoid lead contamination.
EPA demands that business firms performing EPA projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 home facilities, child care centers and schools be certified by EPA and that they employ certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers such as ABLE Safety Consulting, to follow lead-safe work practices. Anybody can turn certified renovators by taking an eight (8)-hour training course from ABLE Safety Consulting, an EPA certified training provider.
