If it does not match the plan

• Suspected asbestos-containing material that is friable or damaged (crumbling, dust, airborne risk) -> STOP-WORK: do not disturb, restrict access to the area, and route to a licensed asbestos inspector before any work continues (EPA/AHERA).
• Suspected lead paint on a surface slated for disturbance (sanding/demolition) in a pre-1978 building -> flag as EPA RRP-regulated; route to a Lead-Safe Certified firm; the agent documents, never scrapes or does destructive testing.
• Suspected asbestos/lead-containing material (intact/undisturbed) -> do not disturb; flag and stop.
• Unlabeled material -> mark 'unknown - request product data' rather than guessing.
