Which inspection type is indicated to require dust samples for compliance?

In the context of lead inspections and risk assessments, PCAD (Post-Construction Assessment for Dust) re-inspections specifically require the collection of dust samples to evaluate lead contamination levels. This type of inspection is conducted after lead hazard control work has been completed to verify that the measures taken have effectively reduced lead dust hazards to acceptable levels. The collection of dust samples is critical in these assessments, as it quantifies the presence of lead dust and ensures compliance with regulatory standards for lead safety.

Other inspection types, such as initial home buyer inspections or cursory visual assessments, may involve visual assessments of lead-based paint and identifying potential hazards but do not necessitate dust sampling for compliance purposes. Similarly, annual maintenance inspections typically focus on checking the condition of lead-related work rather than actively measuring dust levels. Thus, the requirement for dust samples is clearly aligned with the intent and methodology of PCAD re-inspections.
