EPA RRP Audit Defense – For Contractors, Property Mangers and Property Owners
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducts audits to ensure compliance with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule:
- Purpose
The RRP Rule aims to reduce exposure to lead-based paint dust during renovation, repair, and painting activities. Lead-based paint was used in many homes before it was banned in 1978, and disturbing it can create toxic dust.
- Inspections
The EPA conducts inspections to gather information and document observations. Inspections can be record reviews or unannounced. The EPA may take enforcement action if violations are suspected.
- Enforcement
The EPA can take civil or criminal enforcement action against violators. The severity and willfulness of the violation determines the action taken.
- Training
The EPA trains contractors in lead-safe work practices and certifies contractors who follow those practices. To book a RRP Renovator course, click here.
The EPA’s RRP program also encourages consumers to choose certified firms.
