TL;DR
An occupant protection plan is the written strategy a lead abatement or renovation contractor prepares describing how residents will be kept from exposure during the work — relocation or in-place isolation, sealed containment, protected pathways, work-hour restrictions, and daily cleanup. HUD requires one for federally assisted abatement projects, and its logic extends to mold and asbestos jobs in occupied homes.
