MINIMIZING LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS DURING RENOVATION, REMODELING, AND PAINTING
(EPA 747-B-00-005/6)
September, 2000

Many common renovation, remodeling, and painting (R&R) activities in homes with lead-based paint can create hazardous amounts of lead in dust and debris. In an effort to help control these hazards EPA has developed this course which provides simple strategies to reduce or eliminate the creation of hazards during R&R activities that disturb leaded paint. The course materials include an instructors manual, students manual, and accompanying video. It was developed in a modular format so that the course can be provided in one day, or over several days.

Although EPA does not regulate R&R activities, it is currently evaluating regulatory options that can be instituted to control these hazards. This course is intended to be the model training curriculum for any future regulations. While it may be several years before the R&R regulation is fully implemented, EPA encourages R&R contractors to take this training or similar training which addresses the control of lead hazards during R&R activities.

This is a model training course. As such, EPA encourages states, tribes, and other organizations to adapt the training, if necessary, to meet their specific needs and address local requirements.
