What is a primary reason to perform post-work testing after abatement?

Post-work testing after abatement is done to confirm that lead hazards have been reduced to levels allowed by regulatory standards. This testing provides objective evidence that the cleanup and abatement actually achieved the required hazard reduction, ensuring the space is safe for occupants and that the work complies with rules. If the results meet the standards, the project can be closed; if not, additional remediation is needed to reach acceptable levels.
