Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule)

The Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule is a regulation aimed at protecting people from lead-based paint hazards during construction or renovation projects that disturb painted surfaces in older homes, schools, and childcare facilities. It requires contractors to be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead dust from contaminating the environment. This includes proper testing, safety precautions, and providing notice to occupants about potential lead hazards. The goal is to minimize health risks, especially to children and pregnant women, by ensuring safe lead-safe work methods during renovation activities.
