RRP (Renovation, Repair and Painting) Rule

The Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule is a regulation in the United States aimed at protecting public health, particularly children, from lead exposure during renovation activities in homes built before 1978. Under this rule, contractors must be trained and certified to follow specific safety protocols when disturbing lead-based paint. This includes informing homeowners about lead hazards and implementing safe practices to minimize dust and debris containing lead. The RRP Rule seeks to ensure that renovations are conducted safely, reducing the risks associated with lead poisoning.
