Rehabilitation, Renovation and Painting Rule (RRP)

The Rehabilitation, Renovation, and Painting Rule (RRP) is federal regulation that requires licensed professionals to follow specific safety procedures when working on properties built before 1978, due to the risk of lead-based paint. It mandates proper training, safe work practices, and thorough cleanup to prevent lead dust and paint hazards. The goal is to protect workers and residents from lead poisoning during repairs, renovations, or repainting projects, ensuring that older homes are safely upgraded without exposing occupants or workers to harmful lead hazards.
