				  be trained and certified under s.
				  DHS
				  163.10 before the individual performs, supervises or
				  offers to perform or supervise renovation, specified lead hazard reduction or
				  lead investigation activities involving target housing or a child-occupied
				  facility or the real property on which the target housing or child-occupied
				  facility stands. In addition, the certified individual is required to be
				  associated with a company certified by the department under s.
				  DHS
				  163.12. Subchapter III requires that a training course
				  that is represented as qualifying any person for certification to perform
				  renovation, lead hazard reduction or lead investigation activities be
				  accredited by the department before the training course is offered, advertised
				  or conducted and that training managers and principal instructors be separately
				  approved by the department.

				  ACTIVITIES INVOLVING REGISTERED LEAD-FREE PROPERTY AND REGISTERED LEAD-SAFE
				  PROPERTY. This chapter establishes standards for registered lead-free and
				  registered lead-safe property, procedures for determining whether a property
				  meets the standards, and procedures for issuing and maintaining certificates of
				  lead-free status and lead-safe status.
