This course was initially issued in June 2003 as a joint effort of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developments Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control. The course was extensively revised in 2008 following issuance of EPAs Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule. The course underwent further revisions in 2011 to address regulatory changes and feedback on course content. The audience for this course includes renovators, remodelers, painters, maintenance personnel, and any other workers removing or modifying painted surfaces, who have successfully completed an EPA or HUD approved lead safe work practices course in the past and who need to refresh that training. They will be taking the course to obtain EPAcertification as a Certified Renovator. As the trainer, you will want to highlight information and exercises that best meet audience needs. Although customizing the course to your audience is appropriate to a certain degree, the HUD-related material should be taught to all trainees, even if they are not currently working in Federally-assisted housing. All renovators are potential HUD contractors and should know and understand this information. The curriculum and schedule: The curriculum consists of an introduction and seven instructional modules. Two of the modules include interactive exercises. The timing of the course will depend largely on the choices the trainer makes about activities, and how much time is needed to discuss state and local requirements. A proposed course schedule for a four-hour delivery is provided below. The course can also be delivered in several shorter sessions.
