Which statement best describes the RRP requirement for contractors?

• A. Applies only to industrial facilities
• B. Contractors must be certified and follow specific work practices
• C. All lead-based paint can be ignored during renovations
• D. There is no training requirement

Answer: (B)

RRP requires contractors performing renovation, repair, or painting on homes or facilities built before 1978 to be certified and to follow specific lead-safe work practices. This means the contractor must hold EPA (or approved state) certification and operate under a certified firm, while workers must be trained as renovators and follow defined lead-safe methods. These practices include proper containment of the work area, minimizing dust, using appropriate protective measures, and thorough cleanup and disposal to prevent lead exposure to occupants, especially children. The other statements don’t fit: the rule isn’t limited to industrial facilities, there is a training requirement, and lead paint cannot be ignored during renovations.
