I found the class to be instructive, very relatable, and even entertaining. I was expecting a droll, boring class, but was happily surprised when the instructor was a contractor with a wealth of experience and could give us hands on experience of what it is like to implement many of these rules, and how to navigate and make the best use of prescribed practices. It was a great class and would highly recommend leadclasses.com, which I found through ZACK Academy. chris p.

The RRP Project Binder & Tutorial is an optional record-keeping tool that is perfect for
compiling and retaining all required documents to be in compliance with the EPA Renovation

Renovation Repair and Painting Rule Project Binder. It is recommended that each renovation
project retain a Project Binder & Tutorial on-site for the duration of the project. The
Project Binder is to be retained after the completion of the project for a period of three
years, accessible by the EPA for possible spontaneous audit.
For those working in EPA-authorized states including AL, DE, GA, IA, KS, MA, MS, NC, OK, OR, RI, UT, WA or WI there may be additional or alternate record-keeping requirements from what is presented in the RRP Project Binder. Please check with your local and state lead programs to confirm the work practices and record-keeping required for RRP work in your area. The following forms are incorporated into the Project Binder:
