Lead-Based Paint

Georgia's Lead-Based Paint Program administers the Georgia Lead-Based Paint Hazard Management Rules to minimize the spread of lead dust and debris by regulating activities that disturb lead-based paint in target housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978.

Since 2010, the program has enforced the Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) section of the rule by:

• Issuing certifications for contractors and firms
• Accrediting training providers
• Conducting outreach and education
• Developing technical guidance

The program enforces the Lead-Based Paint Abatement section of the rule by:

• Issuing certifications for abatement inspectors, risk assessors, project designers, supervisors, workers, and lead firms
• Accrediting training providers
• Reviewing inspections and risk assessments
• Conducting outreach and education
• Developing technical guidance
