A contractor is renovating a daycare center built in 1965. Special lead-safe work practices are required because the building was built before 1978 and is a:
Correct Answer
A) Child-occupied facility
EPA RRP rules apply to child-occupied facilities (where children under 6 regularly spend time) built before 1978, requiring certified renovators and lead-safe work practices.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule applies to target housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978. A daycare center is classified as a 'child-occupied facility' because children under age 6 regularly spend time there. This classification triggers requirements for EPA-certified renovators and lead-safe work practices regardless of whether the building is residential.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Public building
Public building is not an EPA RRP regulatory category. The RRP Rule does not classify buildings simply as 'public' — the trigger categories are target housing (pre-1978 residential) and child-occupied facilities.
Option C: Commercial building
Commercial building is a general term, not the EPA RRP trigger category. A daycare operating in a commercial building is still subject to RRP requirements because children under 6 occupy it — making it a child-occupied facility.
Option D: Educational facility
Educational facility is too broad and is not the specific EPA RRP term. A high school, for example, is an educational facility but would not be a child-occupied facility under RRP since students are generally over age 6. The correct term is 'child-occupied facility.'
Memory Technique
RRP = Renovate where kids are Regularly Present (under age 6). 'Child-occupied' = children under 6 regularly spend time there. Daycare = children under 6 = child-occupied facility.
