Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair, and Painting- November 2025

EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule) requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and pre-schools built before 1978 have their firm certified by Georgia EPD for work conducted in Georgia, use certified renovators who are trained by EPD-approved training providers and follow lead-safe work practices.
The RRP class will cover the following:

• Why should I be concerned about lead paint?
• Regulations
• Before beginning work
• Contain dust during work
• Cleaning activities and checking your work
• Recordkeeping
• Training non-certified renovation workers
• Hands-on Activities to clearly demonstrate how to set up job
• Examine at the end of the day.
• Students must score at least 70% to receive certification
• The class is scheduled from 8:00am-5:00pm.

Please keep in mind that taking the training class is only Step 1. Students must register with GA EPD and pay a fee for registration. The company must also be registered with GA EPD and registration fee paid. Please visit http://epd.georgia.gov/lead-based-paint-technical-guidance for additional details.
