Training
The
NJ Regulations Certification Curriculum (pdf) was developed
by the Division of Housing and Community Resources, Indoor
Environmental Hazards Unit as a Model Curriculum on NJ regulations
pertaining to property owners, contractors, weatherization,
maintenance workers and others performing work on pre-1978
structures which are subject to Lead Safe Building Maintenance
Requirements. Those structures include: multiple dwellings,
emergency shelters which house women and children and rooming
and boarding homes which house women and children.
This curriculum has been approved by the Division of Codes
and Standards to meet the regulatory training requirements
found at N.J.A.C. 5:10- 6.6(g)(1), Regulations for Maintenance
of Hotels and Multiple Dwellings, N.J.A.C. 5:15 Emergency
Shelters for the Homeless and N.J.A.C. 5:27 Regulations Governing
Rooming and Boarding Houses.
Individuals or agencies wishing to teach using this Model
Curriculum are welcome to do so provided that they contact

Lead
Ready Renovation and Maintenance (LRRM) seminars
PROTECT YOUR TENANTS – LIMIT YOUR
LIABILITY – COMPLY WITH THE LAW
The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, in cooperation
with the Center for Government Services - Rutgers, The
State University of New Jersey, will be offering Lead
Ready Renovation and Maintenance (LRRM) seminars to assist
renovation contractors, property owners and maintenance
staff in meeting the training requirements of both the
State of New Jersey and the US EPA. The Seminars are comprised
of three certification programs: EPA Certified Renovator,
EPA Certified Lead Dust Wipe Technician and NJ Department
of Community Affairs (DCA) Regulations Certificate Program.
EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting Final Rule
(40 CFR 745) requires that beginning April 22, 2010, non-exempt
renovations conducted for compensation in target housing
and child occupied facilities, must be performed by Certified
Firms using Certified Renovators. Target housing is defined
as housing constructed prior to 1978 which contains one
bedroom or larger. Renovation firms and maintenance workers
that wish to work in target housing or child-occupied
facilities must apply to EPA and pay a fee in order to
become certified. Individuals seeking to become Certified
Renovators must successfully complete an EPA-accredited
renovator course.
In addition, since 2005, New Jersey has required renovators
and maintenance workers performing work on all pre-1978
multiple dwellings or shelters housing women and children
or rooming and boarding homes housing women and children
perform such work using workers trained in lead-safe work
practices and applicable NJ regulations. Failure to use
properly trained individuals to perform work on pre-1978
multi-family rental housing will be a violation of N.J.A.C.
5:10-6.6(g) and may result in monetary penalties.
For a limited time only, the Department of Community Affairs
will sponsor this training and offer the course at a reduced
rate of $50 per student. For questions regarding the NJ
regulations, please visit the web site at http://www.state.nj.us/dca/dcr/leadsafe/landlords.html
