Lead licensing in Hawaii
Hawaii's Department of Health maintains lead abatement accreditation, certification and registration systems for abatement firms and individuals who work in homes built before 1978 and in child-occupied facilities. Renovation, repair and painting that disturbs old paint falls under EPA's federal Lead-Safe program. We did not find a clear public roster of state-certified lead firms, so ask for the certification on record and use EPA's locator for renovation firms. Check the agencies' sites for current requirements.
