Confirm that asbestos has been properly abated and control measures are implemented

Rationale: Confirming that all asbestos has either been removed or abated prevents dangerous exposure to asbestos and supports enhanced indoor air quality, contributing to reduced risk of skin irritation, lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other pulmonary diseases.
