The goal of this book is simple: provide asbestos inspectors with a clear understanding of sampling requirements, sampling strategies, homogeneous area determinations, suspect materials, and regulatory expectations. Too often, inspectors rely on incomplete information, outdated guidance, or interpretations that may not withstand regulatory scrutiny. We wanted to create a resource that inspectors can use both during training and while conducting actual field inspections. This book covers asbestos inspections and bulk sampling as the foundation of construction safety.
