Hazardous Material Surveys
Purpose: Structures built before 1990 are likely to contain suspicious material like asbestos, lead and mould, which can be harmful to workers or inhabitants if disturbed. The intention of a hazmat survey is to identify all hazardous material before it becomes airborne so that it can be removed safely and the
renovation or demolition can continue as planned.
Process: Samples are collected by a qualified person and sent to a certified lab for analysis. Based on the lab results, the hazardous material survey report will detail which areas of the structure need to be removed according the WorkSafeBC standards.
Cost: The cost of a hazmat survey is based on the size of the job site, determining the time needed to collect samples and the number of samples required.
