Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule |
EPA Rule Overview: In addition to the publication change, there are numerous other changes involved on a timeline, with the greatest change taking place as of 04/09/2010. As of this date in Kansas, all contractors that work on a pre-1978 home in which they disturb more than 6 sq. ft. of interior or 20 sq. ft. of exterior surface coating will be required by law to be a certified Renovation Firm, and employ licensed Renovators. Training will be required through an accredited training provider to receive an 8-hour lead safe work practices (LSWP) course, or if LSWP has been completed in the past with documentation to show, a 4-hour refresher course may be taken in place of the full 8-hour course. Once the Renovation Firms and Renovators are licensed and certified, the work can be conducted and upon completion, a cleaning verification must be completed to ensure a safe environment is maintained for the residents. This cleaning verification shall only be done by a Certified Renovator or as an alternative a clearance test may be performed. Please note: Clearance testing may only be done by a KDHE licensed Lead Hazard Risk Assessor. Please visit the links page for more information.
