O*NET detailed work activity

Test green technologies or processes

AI can get you up to speed fast and suggest where to look, but you need to confirm findings against real sources, records or people.

Part of Evaluate green technologies or processes, under the O*NET work activity group Inspecting Equipment, Structures, or Materials. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (0 AI-ready, 12 AI-assist, 1 stays human).
