In accordance with current EPA standards found under 40 CFR section 745.226, there is no grace period to take refresher training for lead occupations. Therefore, to be consistent with EPA standards, effective January 15, 2007, all individuals will be required to take refresher training prior to the expiration date of their current training certificate in order to renew their Pennsylvania lead occupation certification. If your current training certificate has expired, you will be required to retake the initial training course and apply for initial certification.
