1. The department shall establish a program for the training and certification of lead inspectors and lead abaters who provide inspections and abatement for monetary compensation. The department shall maintain a listing, available to the public and to city and county health departments, of lead inspectors and lead abaters who have successfully completed the training program and have been certified by the department. A person may be certified as both a lead inspector and a lead abater. However, a person who is certified as both a lead inspector and a lead abater shall not provide both inspection and abatement services at the same site unless a written consent or waiver, following full disclosure by the person, is obtained from the owner or manager of the site.
2. The department shall also establish a program for the training of painting, demolition, and remodeling contractors and those who provide mitigation control services for monetary compensation. The training shall be completed on a voluntary basis.
3. A person who owns or manages real property is not required to obtain certification to perform mitigation control or abatement measures of property which the person owns or manages. However, the department shall encourage property owners and managers to complete the training course to ensure the use of appropriate and safe mitigation and abatement procedures.
4. A person shall not perform lead abatement or lead inspections for compensation unless the person has completed a training program approved by the department and has obtained certification. A person who violates this section is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars for each offense.
