EPA RRP Refresher Certification

We offer Nashville EPA RRP Refresher Certification every month. As a result of the EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule. The EPA is requiring Lead Renovator Refresher Training. Therefore, Nashville EPA RRP Refresher Certification is required for contractors working in homes and commercial buildings built prior to 1978. Consequently, there must be at least one employee who is a Certified EPA Lead Renovator. Therefore, we offer Nashville EPA RRP Refresher Certification once each month.

Furthermore, due to the requirements of the EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule. Our 4- hour course was developed using the curriculum that is provided jointly by:

• UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA)
• UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD)

• Regulations
• Testing for Lead-based Paint – Skill Set 1: Using EPA Recognized Test Kits and Paint Chip Sample Collection Procedures
• Review of Setup Practices
• Review of Prohibited Practices, Personal Protective Equipment and Dust Control
• Cleaning Activities and Checking Your Work – Skill Set 2: Cleaning Verification Procedure
• Record keeping
• Training Non-Certified Renovators

Due to the toxic health effects of lead-based paint dust. Any contractor performing qualifying work must employ at least one Certified Renovator who has completed the lead renovator training. Therefore, the firm MUST BE REGISTERED AS A LEAD SAFE CERTIFIED FIRM with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
