These are the

48、 Baseline Survey, theProject Design Survey, and the Pre-Construction Survey.4.2.1 The Baseline Survey is a building-wide or facility-wide inspection that provides a general sense of the overalllocation, type, quantity, and condition of asbestos-containingmaterials present. It is thorough in that mos

49、t accessiblefunctional spaces are inspected and bulk samples taken ofsuspect materials observed. The baseline survey providesinformation for long-term management of asbestos-containingmaterials and prioritization of response actions. The presenceof asbestos in suspect materials may be assumed or presumedin some cases without bulk samples being taken or analyzed.However, the baseline survey is unobtrusive in that samples arenot taken where doing so would result in objectionable damageto surfaces or where institutional barriers pr
