Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule

The lead-RRP rule, issued under the Toxic Substances Control Act, mandates that contractors performing renovation, repair, or painting activities on pre-1978 buildings follow specific lead-based paint safety practices. It requires certification, worker training, and the use of containment and cleaning procedures to minimize lead dust exposure for occupants and workers. Compliance is enforced by the EPA and failure can result in civil penalties.
