01RRP Rule scope, applicability and exemptions (pre-1978 housing, child-occupied facilities, emergency/disaster provision)
This domain tests whether you can decide, before work begins, whether the RRP Rule applies. Exam questions ask you to classify the building, identify the disturbed painted surface, and apply narrow exemptions without overreading them.
496 words, about 2 min02Certification and training requirements for firms, certified renovators and employees
This domain tests who must hold which credential and what each credential covers. Questions often present a job with a certified individual but an uncertified company, or an experienced worker with no training, and ask what is wrong.
447 words, about 2 min03Lead-safe work practices that minimize occupants' exposure to lead hazards
This domain tests the field practices that keep dust contained and occupants out of the work area. Exam items ask you to spot a prohibited method, identify who performs cleaning verification, and distinguish verification from clearance.
454 words, about 2 min04EPA-recognized lead test kits and determining the absence of regulated lead-based paint
This domain tests when a certified renovator may use an EPA-recognized test kit to establish that a component is not coated with lead-based paint. Questions focus on the limits of kits, who may use them, and what a negative result actually proves.
439 words, about 2 min05Roles and obligations of property managers, landlords, childcare facility operators and real estate agents
This domain tests who owes which duty when a pre-1978 property is rented, sold, or renovated. Exam questions separate the RRP renovation notice from the older lead disclosure rule and ask who must ensure a certified firm is used.
467 words, about 2 min06Distinguishing RRP from lead abatement, inspections and risk assessments; authorized state and Tribal programs
This domain tests the boundary between controlling dust during a renovation and permanently eliminating lead hazards. It also tests which credential authorizes which activity and which government program has jurisdiction.
