What type of survey is conducted to assess asbestos-containing materials in a building?

Visual inspection
Destructive sampling
Comprehensive asbestos survey
Site-specific assessment

The correct answer is: Comprehensive asbestos survey

A comprehensive asbestos survey is conducted to thoroughly assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials in a building. This type of survey involves a detailed inspection and sampling of materials suspected to contain asbestos, allowing for an extensive evaluation of the entire space. The goal is to identify all locations and types of asbestos materials, providing critical information for the development of management plans and safety protocols. In contrast, other options serve different purposes. A visual inspection may identify suspected areas but does not include sampling or testing, limiting its effectiveness in confirming the presence of asbestos. Destructive sampling involves taking samples that may damage or compromise materials, which is not always practical or necessary for an initial survey. Site-specific assessments focus on particular areas or situations rather than giving a complete overview of the entire facility. Thus, the comprehensive survey is the most suitable choice for a thorough assessment of asbestos in a building.
