Renovator On-Line Refresher [Part #1] – English
Lead Safety – Introduction | About this course
Traditional renovation work can create significant dust-lead hazards if lead-based paint is disturbed. The lead-contaminated dust generated by traditional renovation work can cause lead poisoning in children. It can also poison pregnant women, yourself, and other workers, and even pets. Practical changes in work practices can minimize and contain dust. The use of lead-safe work practices makes the job safer and reduces your liability exposure.
This course will teach you how to comply with the EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule and the HUD Lead Safe Housing Rule, and how to perform lead-safe work practices safely and effectively.
Test
At the end of this online course, you will be required to take a Final Assessment to test your knowledge of the course material. You must achieve a score of 80{cc29ba0cf60691a2c511fc0992fc35e8c58e2b5faae16b0123a2f1f2164a2bff} or better to pass this course. After you have passed this online training and received your completed EPA Certified Renovator certificate, your certification is valid for 3 years from the date of completion of the course. To renew certification, you must successfully complete an EPA-accredited Certified Renovator Refresher Course that includes hands-on before your certification expires. If the Certified Renovator training is not refreshed before your certification expires, you must retake the initial course to become certified again.
Note: This course does not include hands-on training and results in a certification that lasts 3 years. Taking a refresher training course that includes hands-on training results in a 5-year certification. Since you’re taking the renovator refresher without hands-on training now you must, for your next refresher course, take a refresher course that includes hands-on training to maintain your renovator certification.
*EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule
(40 CFR 745 subpart E) requires renovations conducted for compensation must be performed by Certified Firms using Certified Renovators. Renovation firms that wish to work in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities must apply to EPA and pay a fee in order to become certified. Renovators seeking to become Certified Renovators must successfully complete an EPA-accredited renovator course or a course accredited by an EPA-authorized State or Tribe. This course is the EPA model course for Certified Renovators and as such meets all requirements in 40 CFR 745.90.
*HUD Lead Safe Housing Rule
The Lead Safe Housing Rule (24 CFR Part 35) applies to all target housing that is federally owned and targets housing which is receiving Federal assistance. The Lead Safe Housing Rule requires federally assisted housing to notify, evaluate, and reduce lead-based paint hazards. Specific requirements depend on whether the housing is being disposed of or assisted by the federal government, and also on the type and amount of financial assistance, the age of the structure, and whether the dwelling is rental or owner-occupied.
*EPA Certified Renovator Status
EPA Certified Renovator status will allow you to do lead-safe renovation, repair, and painting work in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities where work will disturb lead-based paint.
