Before any individual performs interim controls to eliminate lead-based paint hazards in the District of Columbia such person shall be trained in the lead-safe work practices set forth in § 3302.
A certificate of completion from an EPA- or DDOE-accredited training provider or from another EPA-authorized, state-accredited training provider shall serve as proof of receipt of the lead-safe work practices training required by these regulations. An individual shall provide proof of training in lead-safe work practices upon request by DDOE at the job site. A business entity shall ensure that its workers comply with these standards.
Documentation proving Certified Renovator status, or Abatement Worker or Abatement Supervisor certification status, shall satisfy the requirements of §§ 3315.1 and 3315.2, provided such documentation is from an EPA- or DDOE accredited training provider or from another EPA-authorized, state-accredited training provider.
Whenever non-abatement activities are conducted to address lead-based paint hazards pursuant to an Order to Eliminate Lead-Based Paint Hazards, a clearance examination shall be required:
An initial clearance report pertaining to the elimination of lead-based paint hazards identified in an Order issued by DDOE shall be issued only by a risk assessor. Any subsequent clearance report may be issued by either a risk assessor, a lead-based paint inspector, or a dust sampling technician.
Each clearance report shall contain a copy of the current DDOE-issued certification card belonging to the individual that conducted the clearance examination and the date the clearance report was issued.
Notice to DDOE that a dust test will be performed as part of a clearance examination pursuant to § 3315.4 shall be provided by fax, in person, or via the DDOE website, on a DDOE-specified form, submitted to DDOE at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to conducting the dust test, or as soon as practicable, whichever is sooner.
A copy of each clearance report shall be submitted to DDOE by the property owner, within seven (7) business days of its issuance, either in PDF format by email, or by mail, a courier service, or in person.
