The Monroe County Department of Public Health Lead Poisoning Prevention Program for offering FREE RRP classes!

What is RRP? The EPA requires that Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, childcare facilities and preschools built before 1978 be performed by lead-safe certified contractors. Generally, EPA’s Lead RRP rule does not apply to homeowners doing RRP projects in their own homes (but It won’t hurt to know how to work safely with removing lead paint). However, it does apply if you rent all or part of your home, operate a childcare center in your home or if you buy, renovate, and sell homes for profit (i.e., a house flipper). https://www.epa.gov/lead/lead-renovation-repair-and-painting-program
