EPA Lead-Safe Certification Training Program
Did you know that as of April 22, 2010, federal law requires that under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, Individuals working onsite doing renovation and repair to home must be formally trained in lead-safe work practices by an accredited training provider?
The Oklahoma Association of Community Action Agencies (OKACAA) is only one of three accredited EPA Lead-Safe Certification Program Training Providers in Oklahoma as of May, 2010 and offers the required Certified Renovator Training Course on a regular basis.
ECU’s VWIP is pleased to partner with OKACAA to provide this training free of charge to eligible veterans.

· All training materials are included in the course.
· Each participant will receive an individual Certification Card or form within a few days following the course. The certification document must be maintained at the work site.
