ICC General Requirements Practice Exam

What tasks are required of the special inspector before arriving at the job site?

1. Determine project deadlines

2. Review statement of special inspections

3. Prepare construction schedules

4. Conduct equipment inspections

The correct answer is: Review statement of special inspections

Before arriving at the job site, the special inspector is required to review the statement of special inspections. This document outlines the specific inspections that must be performed and provides a clear understanding of the project's requirements. By reviewing this statement, the special inspector can ensure they are fully prepared to conduct the necessary inspections in accordance with the project specifications and the relevant codes. Thoroughly understanding the statement of special inspections allows the inspector to familiarize themselves with the scope of their duties, which directly affects the integrity and compliance of the construction project. This preparation is crucial for effective communication with the other project stakeholders and ensuring that the inspections are conducted systematically and according to the established guidelines. While determining project deadlines, preparing construction schedules, and conducting equipment inspections may be tasks associated with the overall project management, they do not fall under the specific pre-arrival responsibilities of the special inspector.
