K.A.R. 28-72-1v establishes that after lead abatement or lead hazard control work is carried out on a residential property, a visual inspection for clearance testing must be conducted to confirm the work was successfully completed. Property owners and managers who oversee lead-related work on residential dwellings generally ensure that this visual examination step is incorporated into their post-abatement process. Understanding this defined term helps operators correctly interpret the broader requirements of the K.A.R. 28-72 regulatory framework governing lead safety.
