As of April 22, 2010, anyone who conducts renovations, repairs, or painting in pre-1978 or child-occupied facilities must get certified. In addition to personal certification, there is also the requirement of getting your firm registered with EPA in order to ensure that you are not at risk to receive up to $37,500 in fines per day!

The requirements would apply to you if your project disturbs: • 6 square feet of interior lead paint surface AND/OR • 20 square feet of exterior lead paint surface So what are the next steps? Make it through the 8 hours of training and pass the 50 question quiz in class.

Receive your certificate from EPA and you are good to go!

Companies must register separately.
