EPA Lead Paint Certification
If you or your team are paid to perform work that disturbs paint in housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978, you must be certified. This includes all firms, even sole proprietorships.
Abatement and Evaluation:
EPA requires individuals and firms who perform abatement projects in pre-1978 target housing and child-occupied facilities to be certified and follow specific work practices.
