The Program is responsible for enforcing the state's RRP rule requirements, including: accrediting training providers; certifiying of renovators/supervisors, dust sampling technicians, and renovation firms; conducting outreach and education; and developing technical guidance.

Lead-Based Paint Abatement Activities

The Program also regulates lead-based paint inspection, risk assessment and abatement activities in target housing and child-occupied facilities, built before 1978. The Program is responsible for enforcing lead-based abatement rule requirements, including; review of inspections and risk assessments; accrediting training providers; issuing certifications for abatement inspectors, risk assessors, project designers, supervisors, workers, and lead firms; conducting outreach and education; and developing techincal guidance.
