Residential landlords in Maryland should be aware that all lead removal and lead abatement work, as well as other home improvement work on pre-1978 built residential rentals must be performed by Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) - certified or accredited contractors. In fact, according to Maryland law, anyone who acts as a supervisor or contractor for the purpose of abating lead paint shall be accredited by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). Lead paint abatement work includes any activity that eliminates or reduces lead paint hazards, including paint removal, replacement of components, encapsulation, or repainting. Examples of people who provide lead paint services include inspectors, trainers, workers, and supervisors.
Certification and Accreditation: Anyone, or any business, that serves as a lead paint contractor, supervisor, inspector, risk assessor, or training provider must be certified or accredited by the State of Maryland. An individual must pass an examination and provide proof of relevant experience. Applications and fees for accreditation are submitted to the MDE Lead Accreditation and Oversight Division.
Training: Anyone who engages in a lead paint abatement service under the supervision of an accredited supervisor must complete a training course that has been accredited by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE).
A person performing maintenance, repair, or renovation work involving the disturbance of at least 3 square feet of lead paint in a residential rental dwelling unit constructed prior to 1950 must follow certain State lead-safe work practices found at COMAR 26.16.01.
