Small Entity Compliance Guide to Renovate Right

This handbook summarizes requirements of EPA’s 2008 Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting Program Rule (as amended in 2010 and 2011), aimed at protecting against lead-based paint hazards associated with renovation, repair and painting activities. The rule requires workers to be trained to use lead-safe work practices and requires renovation firms to be EPA-certified; these requirements became fully effective April 22, 2010.
