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.
3315.3Documentation 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.
3315.4Whenever 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:
(a)No sooner than one (1) hour after completion of such interim controls, but no more than three (3) business days after such completion, and again between thirty (30) and thirty-six (36) months, as specified by DDOE in the Order, after completion of the interim controls activities; or
