Carry out a first cleaning of all surfaces of the work area including plastic sheeting, tools, <br />scaffolding and/or staging by use of damp-cleaning and mopping and/or a high efficiency <br />particulate air (HEPA) filter vacuum until there is no visible debris from removed materials <br />or residue on plastic sheeting or other surfaces.

At the completion of the cleaning operation, the contractor's supervisor shall perform a <br />complete visual inspection of the work area to ensure that the work area is dust-free <br />and fiber-free. If the supervisor believes he is ready for a final project decontamination <br />inspection, he shall notify the designer. <br /> <br />G.
