CDPH Lead Inspector/Assessor California State Practice Exam

Is a copy of the Inspection Survey part of the Abatement Plan procedure?

1. Yes, it is required.

2. No, it is not part of the procedure.

3. Only if specified by the supervisor.

4. Yes, but only for large projects.

The correct answer is: No, it is not part of the procedure.

The statement that a copy of the Inspection Survey is not part of the Abatement Plan procedure is grounded in the regulatory framework surrounding lead abatement and inspections. An Abatement Plan is a comprehensive document that outlines the strategies and methods to be employed during the lead hazard reduction process. Although the Inspection Survey is a critical component of assessing lead hazards in a property, it is generally used as a standalone assessment tool. The purpose of the Inspection Survey is to identify lead-based paint hazards and the extent of lead contamination, and it is conducted prior to developing the Abatement Plan. While the results of the Inspection Survey inform and guide the development of the Abatement Plan, it is not required to be submitted as part of that plan itself. The Abatement Plan focuses more on how the hazards will be addressed rather than including the survey data directly. Thus, the correct understanding emphasizes the distinct roles of these documents in the overall lead hazard management process.
