• Ensure proper encapsulation labeling and chain-of-custody procedures
• Photograph and document all sampling locations
• Follow OSHA exposure control procedures and negative exposure assessment requirements

• Conduct lead-based paint inspections using XRF technology and/or paint chip sampling
• Follow HUD EPA and CDPH regulatory guidelines
• Identify homogeneous areas and representative sampling locations
• Coordinate laboratory testing through accredited AIHA/NLLAP labs

• Identify and document:
  • PCBs (transformers ballasts electrical systems)
  • Mercury-containing devices (switches thermostats)
  • Refrigerants and universal waste
• Conduct visual inspections of containerized hazardous substances (e.g. drums tanks)

• Collect soil samples for:
  • GRO DRO ORO
  • BTEX compounds (benzene toluene ethylbenzene xylenes)
  • Lead contamination
• Support potholing and subsurface investigation using GPR where required

• Perform radon sampling in:
  • 100% of ground-contact rooms
  • 10% of upper-floor rooms
• Ensure compliance with ANSI/AARST standards
• Coordinate certified Radon Measurement Professionals (RMP/RMT)

• Develop detailed ALBHM survey reports including:
  • Material classification and hazard assessment
  • AHERA risk categorization
  • Quantification of ACM/LBP
  • CAD markups and building sketches
