Lead Safety for RRP – Renovator Refresher

EPA RRP Renovator Refresher Training: Certification for Lead-Safe Work

This is a 4 Hour Online Course to renew your EPA RRP Certification for additional 3 years. EPA has approved online refresher training for the Lead Safety RRP Certification. To be eligible to take this course you must have a valid, unexpired EPA RRP Certifiation completed with an EPA approved course provider.

The EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule requires contractors and renovators working in homes, schools, and childcare facilities built before 1978 to complete 8-Hour RRP Lead Certification Training. This course teaches professionals how to safely handle lead-based paint hazards during renovations, reducing the risk of lead poisoning in children and adults. Participants learn critical EPA-compliant practices, including containment, cleaning verification, and proper disposal of lead-contaminated materials. At PDH STAR, our EPA-approved training ensures renovators meet federal standards while protecting public health.

To maintain your EPA RRP Lead Renovator Certification, and choose to complete your recertification through an online refresher course, you will receive an additional three years of certification validity before needing to renew again. The 4-Hour EPA RRP Refresher Course is specifically designed to revisit and reinforce essential Environmental Protection Agency regulations related to renovation, repair, and painting activities where lead-based paint may be disturbed.

This training places particular emphasis on protecting workers, occupants, and the environment from the hazards of lead exposure. It is critical to note that you must complete the Refresher Course before your current certification expires to avoid any lapse in your credentials. Only individuals who have successfully completed the initial EPA RRP training and hold a valid, unexpired certification are eligible to enroll in the refresher. By staying current with these requirements, certified renovators demonstrate their ongoing commitment to safe work practices and compliance with federal lead safety standards.
