Under AHERA, how often is a reinspection conducted?

• A. Every year
• B. Every five years
• C. Every ten years
• D. Every three years

Answer: (D)

Reinspections under AHERA are conducted every three years. This three-year cycle is the minimum interval for a formal reinspection to reassess the condition of asbestos-containing materials and ensure the management plan remains appropriate. Between reinspections, annual surveillance is required to monitor for changes. So, yearly, five-year, or ten-year intervals do not meet AHERA's minimum requirement, though the interval can be shortened if deterioration is observed.
