12-16-2024 - Lead Risk Assessor Refresher - Seagull - Fort Lauderdale, FL

This Lead Risk Assessor Refresher training reviews how to conduct an on-site investigation to determine the existence, nature, severity, and location of lead- based paint hazards, and the creation of a report by the person or the lead firm conducting the risk assessment, explaining the results of the investigation and options for reducing lead-based hazards.

Those working in industrial or public building settings other than target housing or child occupied facilities, generally, do not need government certification or licensing. All that is required is your training certificate achieved in this class.

Federal and/or State Certification and Licensing

Those wishing to conduct risk assessments in target housing or child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must achieve a federal or state certification/license, depending on the state(s) where they intend to work.

For those wishing to achieve either a federal or state license, or both, the following is exceedingly important:

No training provider, of which we are aware, is approved for all courses in all locations for lead activities. Seagull will aid you in navigating through the maze of approvals, certifications and/or licenses needed resulting from the varied laws, rules, and regulations of states and the federal government. It is important to note that no course certification or license, state or federal, is accepted everywhere for target housing and child-occupied facilities.

Seagull’s package training saves our students time, effort, and frustration.

40 EPA authorized states have their own, unique programs requiring certification or licensure. Many of these states do NOT accept EPA training or that of other authorized states.  

The remaining states are EPA-Controlled (NY, SC, FL, MT, SD, WY, ID, NV, AZ, NM, AK). EPA DOES accept current authorized state certifications/licenses and previous state third-party examinations toward EPA certification/licensure.

Federal Certification/Licensing

When applying to EPA, it is much, much simpler to license with a state, then, use that state license to get your EPA license and Seagull will submit your paperwork for you. Seagull will even pay your state license fee (up to $150.00), except residents of Georgia).  

State Certification/Licensing

Seagull training is directly approved by GA, AL, IL, UT, and PA

Seagull training is accepted by NC and many other states.

Licensing Requirements (Fed or State)

• Certification Prerequisites: Must have current state or federal license.  There is no grace period after expiration.
• Application Process: After your refresher training, you will receive a refresher certificate that will be used to get your state license (all arranged by Seagull).
• For EPA Certifications Only:  A few days after your state license is issued, you will receive by mail or email a scan of your state license, a photo and instructions on how to apply for your EPA license online.
