The document provides an overview of the Lead Renovator, Repair and Painting Regulation (LRRP). It explains that the regulation requires certain contractors who work in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities to be certified and assign a certified lead renovator to each project. It was implemented to minimize exposure to lead and prevent lead poisoning in children. Key points covered include who needs certification, what is considered lead-based paint and target housing, training requirements, record keeping and work practices to contain lead dust.
