Direct Supervision For Sampling And Testing (EFF. 1/24/12)

The Board’s rules provide that Drug Laboratory Site Remediation firms must adhere to the Drug Laboratory Site Remediation Best Standards and Practices pursuant to A.A.C. R4-30-305. Subsection (C)(1) requires post remediation sample testing, and all sampling used to verify that no additional removal or cleaning is required, to be conducted under the direct supervision of a Certified Industrial Hygienist, a Certified Safety Professional, Arizona-registered geologist or an Arizona-registered engineer.
 

Substantive Policy Statement

The Board interprets the term “direct supervision,” as it applies to the sampling and testing during a drug laboratory remediation. Direct supervision requires the Certified Industrial Hygienist, a Certified Safety Professional, Arizona-registered geologist or an Arizona-registered engineer to provide direct supervisory control of the sampling activities, including designating the sample locations and ensuring that all sampling and testing procedures are followed in accordance with A.A.C. R4-30-305(C).
