Sample questions

A homeowner scrapes and repaints the windows of the pre-1978 house she owns and lives in, doing all the work herself. Under the federal RRP rule, she is

  1. not covered, because the work is not done for compensation
  2. covered, because the house was built before 1978
  3. covered, unless she first tests the paint for lead
  4. not covered, but only if no children under 6 live in the home
Show the answer

A. not covered, because the work is not done for compensation

The rule applies to renovations performed for compensation. An owner working on her own owner-occupied home is not being paid, so she is outside the rule, although lead-safe practices are still strongly advised. The age of the house alone does not trigger the rule.

Reference: 40 CFR 745.82
