Which role can perform clearance examinations on all types of projects?

• A. Clearance Technician
• B. Lead Inspector
• C. Lead Inspectors and Lead Risk Assessors
• D. None of the Above

Answer: (C)

Clearance examinations require both thorough on-site evaluation and understanding of exposure risk across different project contexts. Lead Inspectors bring the hands-on capability to inspect, verify cleaning, check containment, and document compliance across spaces and settings. Lead Risk Assessors bring the ability to interpret results in terms of residual risk and to apply the appropriate clearance criteria for residential, commercial, industrial, and other project types. Because some projects have unique thresholds or exposure considerations, having both roles ensures you can perform clearance examinations on all types of projects. A Clearance Technician generally handles more limited, supervised tasks and may not have the authority to issue clearance across every context. A Lead Inspector alone might not address the risk-based interpretation needed for varied project types, and a Lead Risk Assessor alone focuses on risk rather than on-site verification. The combined expertise of Lead Inspectors and Lead Risk Assessors provides the full scope needed for universal clearance.
