Lead licensing in Rhode Island
Rhode Island runs its own lead programs through the Department of Health. Lead hazard reduction work requires a state lead professional license, and lead-safe renovation, repair and painting is handled through the department's own renovation program, with firms and renovators credentialed by the state. We did not find a public roster, so ask for the license on record. Check the department's site for current requirements and training steps.
