In Wisconsin, administration and enforcement of Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule was delegated to the state's Department of Health Services (DHS). Here, the RRP rule is called the Lead Safe Renovator rule.
This particular video provides an overview of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lead Safe Weatherization rule as well as the RRP rule, highlighting similarities and differences. Shown are 12 steps to successfully completing both job types, including paint testing, containment, worker protection and cleaning.

Fantastic Training!
I have a big question. What if I am a non-certified painter, and never heard of EPA or RRP rules before. Home owner who just bought a 100 years old house hires me to do scraping work in one bedroom, and pressure washing and scraping work on the exterior. He didn't tell me anything about lead hazards, that can happen during my work. After my work was finished, they tested their carpet and outside yard and found it lead positive. Who is responsible for all these lead damages?
Hi Andrew, As a business owner hired for profit, you are liable for knowing about & following the RRP regulation; it's not the homeowner's responsibility to relay information on lead hazards. The EPA requires contractors to assume lead-based paint is present on their project if the home was built prior to 1978. Your firm would be responsible for cleaning up dust-lead, chips & debris in all your work areas & the pathways to access those work areas, nowhere else.
@@TestudoLLCMadison If home owners don't have any responsibility at all, does this mean that they can hire any non-certified painter, who don't know nothing about RRP regulations. And after the work is done, instead of paying him, will threaten him , and then will benefit from his insurance for cleaning their yard and installing new carpet.? ..I am sure there are a lot of painters out there, who never heard of RRP regulations yet, especially those who don't speak English.
This is what I found on EPA website:
Real Estate Agents and Home Sellers
Federal law requires you to provide certain important information about lead paint before a prospective buyer is obligated under a contract to purchase your home.
Homebuyers
Federal law requires that before being obligated under a contract to buy housing built prior to 1978, buyers must receive the following from the homeseller:
An EPA-approved information pamphlet on identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards titled Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home (PDF).
Doesn't this mean that home owners should hire RRP-certified painter for their project in homes built before 1978, if not they are violating EPA rules and Federal Law. And if they are violating RRP regulations and the Law, they should be responsible too for any lead damage in their home.
Andrew Pesh homeowner is ultimately responsible for everything in their home. You were tricked into removing lead paint for much cheaper than a certified lead removal would cost and the homeowner is pretending to be stupid but really the homeowner hired a non certified contractor and got lead contamination as a result of hiring such a contractor. You may need a lawyer.
Yur suposed to have a containment room a dirty and shower and clean room and negative air
They are using containment. Showers & negative air are optional for these particular regulations from the EPA & state of WI.
