If so, send your state or federal certification number in to NARI National so homeowners can see that you are EPA Lead Safe Certified. NARI is adding your certification number to your company listing on both the NARI.org and nariremodelers.com "Find a Professional" web search. And the good news is that search traffic is up 25% over last year at this time! Time to tell homeowners your company is Lead Safe. Just send in your state or federal certification number to info@nari.org or fax it to 847-298-9225 with your company name and we’ll add it for you. The LHMP-RRP Program
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, Health Hazards Control Unit (HHCU) administers the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Management Program for Renovation, Repair and Painting (LHMP-RRP).
The LHMP-RRP permanent rules (10A N.C.A.C. 41C .0900) became effective November 1, 2010. The permanent rules are required by N.C. General Statute §130A-453.31. The LHMP-RRP program requires applicable renovation activities conducted for compensation, in homes and child-occupied facilities built before 1978, to be conducted by a NC certified lead renovation firm using a NC certified renovator and trained workers. The rules also require the use of lead-safe work practices. Additionally, firms conducting renovation activities must provide the lead pamphlet “Lead-Safe Certified Guide to Renovate Right” to owners and occupants before starting renovation work. Copies of the LHMP-RRP rules and the announcement memorandum are attached. For copies of other related documents, applications, and more, go to our website at: http://www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/lead/lhmp.htmlIf you require additional information or assistance, contact the Health Hazards Control Unit at (919) 707-5950.
