New EPA Lead Rule
Certified Renovator Training

Across the US, there is a growing concern about lead-based paints in homes and businesses and the real health hazard this situation poses for families and children.

In response to this concern, the EPA has established a new rule focused on renovation, repair and painting work. Beginning April 2010, all renovation, repair, and painting work done on structures built prior to 1978 are required to be done by a EPA certified firm and a Certified Renovator from that firm must be on site during critical stages of the work.

Paul Davis Restoration, Inc. is committed to be a leader in the effort to train construction industry professionals regarding this critical aspect of our business.  Since this rule has been introduced, we have become an EPA accredited trainer for the Certified Renovator Course and have begun scheduling classes. 

Those receiving the training will be designated as a Certified Renovator and will be prepared to use lead-safe work practices during renovation, repair and painting work in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities.  Upon successful completion of this one day course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion stating that you are trained in lead-safe work practices and meet the EPA’s Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) requirements.

Paul Davis Restoration offers the RRP Certified Renovator’s training at Paul Davis University in Jacksonville, FL and locations across the U.S.  Classes are limited to 25 students.  Pre-registration is required.

To register for an upcoming class, please call (904) 737-2817 x 236, or click here to send us your contact information and we will call to confirm your reservation. 

If you have any questions about the new Rule, please visit the EPA’s website at: http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm

The training is to provide the Initial Certified Restorer’s certifi cation to conduct.  Renovation, Repair, and Painting activities pursuant to Section 402 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2682).
