Inspectors do not need to verify safety barriers unless there is a complaint

Inspectors ensure that safety barriers are properly installed to protect workers and the public from hazards on the construction site

Question 2: When inspecting the plumbing system, which of the following is the most critical test to ensure the system is properly installed?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Pressure test

Visual inspection for leaks

Pipe insulation quality check

Aesthetic inspection of fixtures

Question 3: Under ADA compliance, what is a required feature for public restrooms in commercial buildings?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Public restrooms must have no design restrictions as long as they meet fire safety regulations

Public restrooms should only have decorative features without accessibility concerns

Restrooms are not required to meet accessibility standards if they are infrequently used

Doorways must be wide enough to accommodate wheelchair access, and grab bars must be installed

Question 4: During a site inspection, what is the role of personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers regarding safety standards?

Measure the window's energy efficiency based on the label

Check the window's seal for air tightness and proper insulation

Inspect the window's aesthetic finish

Ensure the window is installed per the manufacturer's specifications

Question 6: How do inspectors verify "energy-efficient insulation" during building inspections?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Inspectors check insulation materials and installation methods to ensure compliance with energy codes and building efficiency standards

Energy-efficient insulation does not need to be checked during inspections

Insulation verification is unnecessary unless energy-efficiency concerns are raised

Inspectors verify insulation only in HVAC systems, not in walls and ceilings
