ICC General Requirements Practice Exam

What does a special inspector report not need to contain?

1. The names of all employees on-site

2. Location and details of reinforcement inspection

3. Summary of what corrective actions were taken

4. Changes authorized by the design professional

The correct answer is: The names of all employees on-site

A special inspector's report is primarily focused on the specific aspects of construction that require oversight to ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards. The report centers on critical inspection details such as the location and specifics regarding reinforcement inspections, which are essential for evaluating structural integrity and adherence to design specifications. Additionally, the report often includes summaries of any corrective actions taken to address deficiencies found during the inspections. While the report may reference changes authorized by the design professional as they pertain to the inspection process or findings, it does not need to include comprehensive details, such as the names of all employees on-site. This information is generally not relevant to the responsibilities of the special inspector and does not contribute to evaluating compliance with building codes or project specifications. In this context, the focus of the report is on objective findings related to construction quality rather than personnel records, making the inclusion of employee names unnecessary.
