What must be done with survey results during construction?

Keeping the survey results onsite throughout the duration of construction is essential for ensuring safety and compliance with regulations. Having these documents readily available allows workers, contractors, and inspectors to reference the findings, particularly in relation to any identified asbestos-containing materials. This information is crucial for informing necessary safety measures and protocols to prevent asbestos exposure during the construction process.

Additionally, onsite access to survey results supports compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, as workers need to be aware of the presence and condition of asbestos materials in their work environment.

In contrast, sending the results only to the property owner limits accessibility and awareness among those responsible for on-site safety practices. Ignoring the survey results during construction could lead to hazardous situations, and storing them offsite does not fulfill the immediacy required for effective safety management. Therefore, maintaining these records onsite is the most responsible and practical approach.
