Lead-Safe RRPM Supervisor License

Vermont Lead-Safe RRPM Supervisor License

If you plan to supervise renovation, repair, painting, or maintenance work that disturbs lead-based paint in pre-1978 buildings, you need this annual individual license from the Vermont Department of Health before stepping on-site.

On-Site Presence Required

A licensed RRPM Supervisor must remain on-site the entire time RRPM work is underway — not just check in and leave. Your employer must also hold a Lead-Safe RRPM Firm license; a supervisor working for an unlicensed firm creates a dual compliance gap.

Training to Qualify

Before applying, complete both:

• 8-hour Initial RRP training from an EPA-accredited provider — initial and in-person refresher certificates are valid for 5 years; online refresher certificates are valid for only 3 years
• 2-hour Vermont IRC Practices training offered by the Vermont Asbestos and Lead Regulatory Program — certificate valid for 5 years

Both certificates must stay current. An expired training certificate voids your eligibility at renewal.

Fee and Renewal

• Annual license fee: $50
• License is valid for one year from issuance
• Apply and renew at the Vermont Department of Health's licenses and certificates page

Enforcement

The Vermont Department of Health enforces Vermont's EPA-authorized RRP program. The Department investigates complaints and takes action against unlicensed supervisors and firms.
