A strategy to perform a risk assessment of a research space and to ensure the safety and readiness for the demolition worker to begin work, and/or for the next occupant is provided in this standard. This publication identifies the minimum acceptable criteria for completing the decommissioning process, and documenting the necessary information for regulatory and historical purposes.
Those involved in the development of a decommissioning plan for a research laboratory of any size will benefit by this guidance document. References, tables, and other resources for assessing the risk level of the project are also included.
