▢ Assess the use of any new/proposed cleaning products.
▢ Review janitorial procedures and protocols, including environmental health & safety procedures.
▢ Evaluate building/engineering pre-inspection tasks, including:
▢ Perform site inspection visual and infrared inspection of representative available surfaces for leaks/mold (ventilation, filtration and hygiene).
▢ Undertake basic IAQ indoor air quality review with emphasis on volatile organic compounds.
▢ Collect potable water samples to characterize post flush water quality at domestic main.
