The 8-hour Lead Safe Renovator/Remodeler course is a class that teaches lead safety to workers and property owners performing home renovations and remodeling work.  Upon completion of the class, you must pass a written examination and apply for a license from the Rhode Island Department of Health.  This class is required by law for those working on pre-1978 residences in the state of Rhode Island.
