Workshop: Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Initial Training

The Workshop: Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Initial Training will take place on October 21st, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. This one-day class on lead paint safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) is the Initial Renovator Course. The class is taught by Southface, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State of Georgia EPD accredited RRP training provider.

As of April 22, 2008, the EPA requires the use of lead-safe practices to prevent lead poisoning. Beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. Lead-based paint is a hazardous substance that is harmful to children ages 6 and under, pregnant woman and employees working on pre-1978 houses.
