EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting - Refresher Course

Montana Weatherization Network members may take this course, and any relevant exam(s), at no cost. The Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP) course is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) certification course designed for all workers who disturb painted surfaces in housing and child-occupied facilities built prior to 1978, including renovation contractors, maintenance workers in multi-family housing, painters and other specialty trades. Under the rule, child-occupied facilities are defined as residential, public or commercial buildings where children under six years of age are present on a regular basis.

In the Intitial RRP course, students learn how to assess and work with lead-based paint hazards in a way that is safe and constructive for themselves and others. To maintain their certification, students must complete a four-hour refresher course every five years. This refresher course meets the renewal requirement. It has 4 contact hours and can qualify as 2 continuing education units (CEU) toward HEP Recertification
