This handbook summarizes requirements of EPAâs Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting. Program Rule, aimed at protecting against lead-based paint hazards associated with renovation, repair and. painting activities. The rule requires workers to be trained to use lead-safe work practices and requires renoÂ­. vation irms to be EPA-certiied; these requirements will become effective April 22, 2010.
