HBA Will Host EPA's Lead Paint Renovator Certification Training in Springfield

WHO NEEDS THIS COURSE? Residential Renovators, Insurance Restoration Contractors, Painters, Window-Siding & Guttering Professionals, Plumbers, HVAC Professionals, Demo Contractors, Foundation Repair Specialists, Government and Historical Restoration Contractors….and the list could go on and on…

Beginning in April 2010, firms working in pre-1978 homes will need to be certified. Along with the firm certification, an employee will also need to be certified as a Certified Renovator. This employee will be responsible for training other employees and overseeing work practices and cleaning. The training curriculum is an eight-hour class with two hours of hands-on training. Both the firm and Certified Renovator certifications are valid for five years. A Certified Renovator must take a four-hour refresher course to be re-certified.
