Lead licensing in South Carolina
South Carolina has no state lead paint certification program, so EPA runs both the renovation rule and the lead abatement program. A firm that renovates, repairs or paints a pre-1978 home or child-occupied facility should be an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm using certified renovators, and EPA certifies lead abatement, inspection and risk assessment work. Use EPA's Lead-Safe Certified Firm locator to check the certification on record, and check EPA's site for current requirements.
