When must the Contractor notify workers of the air sample results?

The appropriate timing for notifying workers of air sample results is "as soon as possible." This requirement is in place to ensure the health and safety of workers who may be exposed to asbestos or other hazardous materials. Quick communication of these results enables workers to understand their exposure levels and take necessary precautions if the results indicate unsafe air quality. Keeping workers informed helps to promote a safe work environment and demonstrates the contractor's commitment to their well-being.

Timely notification can also facilitate immediate corrective actions if results show elevated levels of contaminants. Furthermore, regulatory guidelines often mandate prompt communication to maintain compliance with health standards. Therefore, notifying workers as soon as possible aligns with best practices in occupational safety and ensures ongoing protection for everyone on site.
