ASBESTOS SURVEY & MONITORING
ASBESTOS BUILDING INSPECTION
Before beginning any renovation, demolition, asbestos abatement, or other activity that could impact suspect material, an on-site evaluation must be completed by a certified asbestos inspection professional. This inspection is required by federal rules and regulations set forth by OSHA and the US EPA, as well as many state regulations, and even some local codes. The asbestos inspection firm should be able to demonstrate sufficient experience, licensing, and adequate professional liability insurance coverage for environmental testing services. Without professional liability insurance, the owner will have no recourse for damages due to errors in judgment or professional opinion, all of which are beyond the scope of the contractor’s general liability insurance.
Our asbestos testing process involves:
- A thorough visual inspection of the affected building space
- Inventory of suspect material
- Bulk sample extraction
- Laboratory analysis
- Recommendations
- Survey reporting
ASBESTOS PROJECT INSPECTION/AIR MONITORING
Disturbing asbestos-containing materials in order to remove them can release hazardous asbestos fibers into the air, where they can damage the lungs of workers and building occupants if they are improperly removed. In this way, if the process is not handled correctly, the process of abatement can create the very hazard it’s designed to remove.
To protect your interests and the health and wellbeing of your building occupants, an asbestos monitoring service helps ensure that the people you hire to perform the work do it in the right way, and within both your budget and timeline.
As an API (Asbestos Project Inspector), we do not handle abatement and/or removal. We provide air monitoring to ensure a safe environment for all building occupants.
