EPA Lead Law

Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint and harming adults and children. The law affects homeowners, property managers, and landlords of homes built before 1978. The new federal law became effective on April 22, 2010. Federal law requires all contractors working in homes built before 1978 to be certified and use lead-safe work practices. To become certified for the EPA Lead Law, renovation firms must submit an application and a fee payment to the EPA. As well, they must have a Certified Renovator on-site during the work. The full context of the law can be viewed at Steps to Lead Safe Renovation, Repair, and Painting or by clicking the logo above.
