Requirements for Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Program
The Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Program mandates that contractors, property managers and others working for compensation, in homes and child-occupied facilities built before 1978, must be trained and use lead-safe work practices. They are also required to provide the lead pamphlet "Renovate Right; Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers and Schools" to owners and occupants before starting renovation work.
To get more information on the specific work practices and other actions required by reference in the North Carolina Rules, go to the EPA rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices (PDF).
Several organizations are offering the 8-hour EPA approved course that will certify participants for the Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting requirement. This list is not comprehensive, but a list of classes the NCHBA is aware of. To have your class included, e-mail
