When does a Lead Supervisor need to be on site?

• A. During Final Inspection only
• B. Only after work hours
• C. For Prep and Tear Down
• D. Only during Training

Answer: (C)

The timing tested is supervision during the actual disturbance work, when lead dust and debris are created. A Lead Supervisor needs to be on site during prep and tear-down to ensure containment is properly set up and maintained, dust control practices are followed, and waste is handled and disposed of correctly. During prep, the supervisor verifies that barriers, negative pressure, and work procedures are in place to prevent dust from spreading. During tear-down, they oversee removing containment and cleaning up to leave the area lead-safe and free of contamination. Being on site only during a final inspection doesn’t address the active work where dust is generated, and being present only after hours or only during training doesn’t ensure proper lead-safe practices are followed during disturbance.
