Reducing exposure.
If your facility was constructed prior to 1975, it is likely that asbestos is present in the form of fireproofing, insulation, or building finishes. In some facilities, state laws regulate the presence, management, and removal of asbestos-containing materials. But even if unregulated, its presence may be a health and safety hazard to building occupants. Count on our staff of professional environmental specialists and industrial hygienists to identify the nature and severity of any asbestos risk, and design the most cost-effective solution.
