 Checklist For a Successful

RRP Remodeling Project

Initial Steps

  • Get Certified & Trained

    • EPA Firm Certification (application and $300)

    • At least 1 certified lead renovator (8 hour class)

    • Train your workers (non-certified workers)

  • Assemble equipment, materials  paperwork including Renovate Right

  • Give pamphlet to potential client during site visit

  • Decide if you will test or assume paint to contain lead

    • Homes built prior to 1960 – may be best to assume lead presence

    • Homes built between 1960 and 1978 – may consider testing

       

  • Submit bid(s)

    • Bid to include lead safe work practices

    • Bid without lead safe work practices (will require testing)

After Contract is Signed

  • Paint testing (unless assuming lead) – test all components that will be disturbed

    • EPA recognized test kit; or

    • XRF or Paint Chip (only by inspector or risk assessor); or

    • If all surfaces are free of lead – no further lead safe work practices required

    • If any surfaces are lead containing – follow all lead procedures

  • Redistribute Renovate Right pamphlet (e-mailing is acceptable)

  • Get acknowledgement form for Renovate Right pamphlet signed

  • Assign Certified Renovator to job

  • Have Certified Renovator train workers, if necessary

  • Identify and prepare work area(s) to provide containment

  • Complete the renovation portion of the work (demolition, paint disturbance and/or component removal) according to RRP standards

  • Thoroughly clean entire work area (this step can be done after demolition and before new construction phases)

    • Use HEPA vacuum (not vacuum with HEPA filter)

    • Use HEPA vacuum with a beater bar for carpeting

    • Wet wipe all surfaces except carpeting

    • Repeat HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces

  • Perform cleaning verification procedure

    • Reclean if needed until cleaning verification steps are completed

  • Document all work and keep electronic copies

  • Once verification is achieved the area is no longer considered a lead work area and can be occupied by building occupants and non-certified contractors.

    • No more signs

    • No more PPE (unless required for something else)

    • No more containment (unless you’d do it anyway for dust)

    • No more documentation
