What primary documentation should both a client and assessor maintain post-assessment?

The primary documentation that both a client and assessor should maintain post-assessment is the assessment report and any correspondence regarding findings. This is essential because the assessment report contains critical information about the mold inspection, including the locations where mold was found, the species of mold identified, the remediation recommendations, and the baseline for future assessments. Additionally, any correspondence provides a record of communication regarding the findings, clarifications, and any specific actions that may need to be taken.

Maintaining this documentation is vital for both parties, as it serves as a reference point for any future evaluations or legal matters that may arise. It helps ensure that the client is informed about the status of their property and allows for a clear history of actions taken or recommended, which is important for ongoing health and safety considerations.

While daily logs of all activities, client payment records, and visual aids can be useful, they do not encapsulate the comprehensive details and directives provided in the assessment report or the context of the findings shared in correspondence. Hence, these other forms of documentation may support the process but are not as critical as the assessment report and related communications.
