CDPH Lead Inspector/Assessor California State Practice Exam

Who must prepare the abatement plan?

1. Certified Lead Inspector

2. Certified Lead Supervisor

3. Certified Lead Project Monitor

4. Certified Lead Project Designer

The correct answer is: Certified Lead Supervisor

The abatement plan must be prepared by a Certified Lead Supervisor. This professional is specifically trained to oversee lead abatement projects, ensuring that they comply with established regulations and safety protocols. The role of the Certified Lead Supervisor includes not only the preparation of the abatement plan but also the management of the work crew and the execution of the actual abatement activities. The Certified Lead Project Designer, while knowledgeable about lead hazards and abatement methodologies, primarily focuses on designing the response to lead hazards rather than directly managing the project implementation. Thus, the Certified Lead Supervisor is the key individual responsible for drafting the abatement plan, as they integrate project plans with safety measures and workers' supervision to mitigate lead exposure effectively during the abatement process.
