Which item is part of a preliminary visual inspection process?

In a lead remediation workflow, the preliminary visual inspection is about confirming the work area is ready for clearance testing. That readiness hinges on having the major remediation steps completed, including the gross removal of lead-containing material and cleanup of the site. Without finishing this removal and cleaning, you can’t properly assess whether any residual hazards remain, so this preparatory activity is the essence of the preliminary inspection. So, completing the gross removal and cleanup of the work is the activity that fits this stage best. Waiting for clearance, performing the final air clearance test, or issuing the final invoice all occur after the preliminary checks and remediation steps, not during the initial readiness assessment.
