Which of the following is NOT one of the four types of inspections for lead risk assessment?

  1. Target

  2. Worst

  3. Random

  4. Comprehensive

The correct answer is: Comprehensive

In the context of lead risk assessments, the four recognized types of inspections include target inspections, worst-case inspections, and random inspections. Each of these serves a specific purpose in evaluating the risk of lead exposure in different scenarios. A target inspection focuses on specific components or areas that are suspected of containing lead-based paint or lead hazards, often due to previous knowledge or concerns about lead exposure. Worst-case inspections aim to assess conditions that would pose the greatest risk of lead exposure, considering scenarios where the most vulnerable populations might be affected. Random inspections, as the name suggests, involve assessing properties chosen without prior knowledge or bias, which allows for a broader understanding of lead hazards in a given area. The term comprehensive typically refers to a thorough approach that may encompass multiple inspection techniques but is not classified as one of the standard inspection types. Therefore, this option does not accurately represent one of the distinct types of inspections used specifically for lead risk assessment as defined by the EPA guidelines.
