Even if your work did NOT cause the paint chips or debris or dust on surfaces, it must be cleaned up prior to releasing back to the school population for re?occupancy. Window sills, ?oors, baseboards and shelving units must be free of visible signs of paint and plaster. After each shift and to allow for re?occupancy the next day, there should be absolutely no visible signs of paint chips, debris or dust plaster on classroom academic materials including books, bins, toys, desks, chairs, carpets or papers. Any remaining plaster and paint must be adhered to wall and ceiling surfaces. You should not be able to easily flick off paint chips with a ?ngernail. If this is the case, the work was not completed properly. Newly painted surfaces should match the aesthetics of the area in total and should cover the entirety of the wall or ceiling area that was addressed through this work. Painted areas should be completely addressed through painting, with no visible patches. AFTER a successful visual inspection, a certi?ed renovator must verify that each surface in the work area has been adequately cleaned using the RRP procedure. Quality assurance inspections with photos will be collected by a third party consultant during and after work is completed to ensure that spaces are left in accordance with the conditions described above.
