Course Description:

According to the lead paint rule from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which took effect in April 2010, any contractors disturbing more than six (6) square feet on a home built before 1978 must be a certified lead paint renovator. The HBAA also provides continuing education for those who have earned the lead paint certification. Under Alabama Health Department regulations, all Lead Paint Certified Renovators must complete a refresher course every three years. You must take the course BEFORE your expiration date. If not, the state will require you to take the initial course again.

The Lead Paint Certified Renovator CE Renewal Course is a refresher training program for individuals holding lead renovator certification. The course aims to reinforce key concepts, provide updates on regulatory changes, and address new developments in lead-safe work practices. Participants will engage in discussions, case studies, and practical exercises to enhance their knowledge and skills in lead hazard management.
