There hasn’t been much said about the requirements for schools to have certified renovators. However, with school just around the corner, administrations in various schools need to know the answer to this question.
Must maintenance workers at kindergartens and elementary schools become certified renovators if they perform renovations covered by the Renovaton, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule in the portions of the school that are child-occupied facilities? Are the schools or school systems then required to become certified renovations firms?
Answer: On or after April 22, 2010, all renovations covered by the RRP Rule must be directed by certified renovators and must be performed by certified renovators or individuals trained by a certified renovator. The RRP rule requires any firm, including a local government agency, that performs, offers, or claims to perform renovations to be certified by EPA.
