Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule

The renovation-repair-and-painting-rrp-rule">Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule is a regulation designed to protect the public from lead exposure during renovation, repair, and painting activities in homes and buildings built before 1978, when the use of lead-based paint was banned. Contractors must be trained and certified in lead-safe work practices to minimize lead dust and prevent contamination. Homeowners are informed about the risks of lead poisoning, especially to young children and pregnant women, ensuring safer living environments while performing renovations. Compliance with this rule helps reduce lead-related health hazards in residential settings.
