1. What is the primary purpose of an asbestos building inspection?

a) To determine the presence of lead paint
b) To evaluate fire hazards
c) To identify and assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
d) To inspect plumbing systems

Answer: c) To identify and assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
Rationale: The main purpose of an asbestos building inspection is to identify any asbestos-
containing materials in a building and assess their condition to determine potential risks.



2. Which of the following is the most common form of asbestos used in building
materials?

a) Chrysotile
b) Amosite
c) Crocidolite
d) Tremolite

Answer: a) Chrysotile
Rationale: Chrysotile, or white asbestos, is the most commonly used form in building materials
due to its flexibility and heat resistance.



3. Which agency regulates the inspection and handling of asbestos in the United
States?

a) OSHA
b) EPA
c) CDC
d) DOT

Answer: b) EPA
Rationale: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates asbestos in the U.S.,
including inspection requirements and guidelines for safe handling and removal.



4. Which of the following materials is most likely to contain asbestos?

a) Drywall
b) Vinyl floor tiles

,c) Concrete blocks
d) Wood paneling

Answer: b) Vinyl floor tiles
Rationale: Vinyl floor tiles, particularly those installed before the 1980s, often contain asbestos
to enhance durability and fire resistance.



5. When conducting an asbestos survey, which of the following is essential?

a) Taking samples only from suspect areas
b) Conducting the survey during building demolition
c) Wearing respirators during the survey
d) Ensuring that all materials are removed immediately

Answer: a) Taking samples only from suspect areas
Rationale: Asbestos surveys typically focus on areas where asbestos is suspected, with samples
taken only from these areas to avoid unnecessary disturbance.



6. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) should be disturbed during an
inspection when:

a) The material is damaged
b) Asbestos is suspected but not confirmed
c) There is no visible damage to the material
d) The material is in an easily accessible location

Answer: c) There is no visible damage to the material
Rationale: Asbestos materials should not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary, especially if
they are not damaged. Disturbing materials can release asbestos fibers into the air.



7. Which type of sampling method is most commonly used for asbestos bulk
sample collection?

a) Wipe sampling
b) Air sampling
c) Visual sampling
d) Bulk sampling

, Answer: d) Bulk sampling
Rationale: Bulk sampling involves physically collecting small pieces of materials suspected to
contain asbestos to be analyzed in a laboratory.



8. Which of the following materials is LEAST likely to contain asbestos?

a) Plaster
b) Insulation
c) Roofing shingles
d) Concrete walls

Answer: d) Concrete walls
Rationale: Concrete walls are least likely to contain asbestos, although asbestos may be present
in products like insulation or roofing materials.



9. The asbestos building inspector must be able to identify the type of asbestos
based on:

a) The appearance of the material
b) Laboratory analysis of a sample
c) The age of the building
d) The location of the material

Answer: b) Laboratory analysis of a sample
Rationale: Only laboratory analysis, typically through polarized light microscopy (PLM), can
accurately identify the type of asbestos in materials.



10. Which of the following is a key responsibility of an asbestos inspector when
conducting a survey?

a) Removing asbestos-containing materials
b) Providing recommendations for removal contractors
c) Ensuring that no asbestos fibers are released into the air
d) Disposing of asbestos waste

Answer: c) Ensuring that no asbestos fibers are released into the air
Rationale: The inspector's primary role is to identify and assess ACMs without disturbing them
or releasing fibers into the air.
