Because a significant body of laws and regulations governing the use and removal of asbestos containing materials exists, businesses are required to manage asbestos materials in their facilities. HazCorp Environmental Services, Inc. offers a complete range of asbestos management services to assist clients in meeting this regulatory challenge. Our flexible management programs can include: Asbestos Surveys HazCorp provides asbestos surveys to identify the presence, location and quantity of asbestos containing materials. Asbestos containing materials are identified through the collection and analysis of samples of building materials. Our Ohio Department of Health Certified inspectors follow well-defined protocols to ensure complete and accurate surveys. Abatement Design HazCorp can design and plan an abatement project to specifically suit the client's particular need. Abatement designs will include plans and specifications which define the exact scope of work, engineering controls and all other factors that will ensure the project is performed in accordance with all regulatory requirements. Management Planning Based on survey data, HazCorp can perform hazard assessments that classify asbestos containing materials by location, condition, potential for disturbance and other risk factors. Once asbestos materials are identified appropriate response actions can be selected and management plans can be developed that define specific remedial steps. These steps will accurately prioritize abatement actions. The management plan is provided to manage asbestos risks at a minimum cost to the client. Operations and Maintenance Programs (O&M) Often, expensive removal costs can be avoided through the implementation of an O&M program. HazCorp can write an O&M program that allows low-risk asbestos containing materials to remain in place. Through periodic inspections and written plans, risks can be greatly reduced to building users and maintenance workers. Abatement Contract Administration HazCorp can offer contract administration services that include the preparation of bid documents, selection of qualified contractors, bid evaluation and contractor selection. During abatement work HazCorp will ensure all work is performed in accordance with specifications, conduct clearance sampling and complete project documentation.
