What do I do when dirty handprints/scratches on exposed duct not cleaned?

QA/QC, Punchlist, Documentation & TurnoverQA/QC starter — verify before calling it complete

Clean the work area like another crew has to safely work there next. Scrap, screws, sharp metal, dust, and packaging are part of the job.

Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Pick up sharp offcuts and screws.
Remove packaging and unused material.
Keep access/egress clear.
Protect roof/floor/finished surfaces.
Separate usable material from trash.

Ask foreman

Where do you want scrap, usable leftovers, and trash staged before we leave?

Do not

Do not leave sharp scrap, screws, or trash because the install itself looks done.

Why it matters

A clean area prevents injuries, lost hardware, finish damage, and blame later.
