EPA Alert: Lead-based Paint Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Program
Posted April 14, 2010
Lead-based Paint Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Program affects contractors, property managers, and maintenance personnel working in homes, child care facilities and schools built before 1978. Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.
