Obligation to Notify Owner of Existing Hazardous Materials Sample Clauses
The "Obligation to Notify Owner of Existing Hazardous Materials" clause requires a party, typically a contractor or tenant, to promptly inform the property owner if they discover hazardous materials already present on the premises. In practice, this means that if substances like asbestos, lead paint, or chemical contaminants are found during inspections or work, the discovering party must notify the owner in writing and may need to halt work in the affected area until further instructions are received. This clause ensures that hazardous conditions are addressed quickly, protecting health and safety, and helps allocate responsibility for managing and remediating such materials.
