True or False: If dust samples collected during a reoccupancy inspection have passed, they do not need to be collected again for final compliance.

The assertion that if dust samples collected during a reoccupancy inspection have passed, they do not need to be collected again for final compliance is indeed true. When dust samples are taken during a reoccupancy inspection and they pass the established thresholds for lead content, this indicates that the area is free from significant lead hazards, particularly in terms of dust contamination.

The goal of the reoccupancy inspection is to ensure that any lead hazard remediation has been successful, and passing dust samples serve as a verification of this. Once these samples confirm that lead levels are acceptable and the space is safe for occupancy, no further sampling is required for final compliance. This streamlines the process and ensures that resources are not unnecessarily spent on redundant testing when the initial tests are already satisfactory.

While various state regulations might have their specific nuances, the general principle remains that if the tests are passed, further collection is not typically mandated, making the statement true.
