Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP)

The Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule is a regulation in the United States aimed at protecting public health, especially children, from lead exposure during home renovations. It requires contractors to be trained and certified in safe practices when working on homes built before 1978, when lead-based paints were banned. The rule mandates that specific procedures be followed to minimize lead dust and debris during renovations. Homeowners must be informed about potential lead hazards before work begins, ensuring safer environments during repairs and improvements.
