They must work with construction managers
They must conduct it under supervision
They must perform the survey in accordance with AHERA bulk sampling protocol
They must submit a report within 24 hours

The correct answer is: They must perform the survey in accordance with AHERA bulk sampling protocol

A requirement for a New York State asbestos investigator conducting an inspection is to perform the survey in accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) bulk sampling protocol. This protocol provides standardized methods for collecting and analyzing bulk samples of materials suspected to contain asbestos. Adhering to AHERA guidelines ensures that the investigation meets federal and state regulatory standards, which are critical for verifying the presence of asbestos and determining proper management and remediation steps. Following the AHERA bulk sampling protocol also ensures the reliability and accuracy of test results, which is essential for protecting public health and safety. It helps investigators to systematically identify potential asbestos-containing materials in a facility and determine the extent of any asbestos-related concerns, thereby guiding necessary actions for compliance and hazard mitigation.
