What materials does hazard abatement cover?
Hazard abatement covers the safe removal and disposal of materials that pose a risk to human health or the environment. This includes asbestos, mold, lead-based paint, PCBs, and other hazardous substances found in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Do I need an inspection before abatement work begins?
Yes. Before any removal work starts, the affected area needs to be assessed and tested to confirm the presence and extent of hazardous materials. This determines the scope of work and ensures the correct removal procedures are followed.
Is hazard abatement required by law in Alberta and BC?
Yes. Both Alberta and BC have regulations governing the handling and disposal of hazardous materials. Licensed contractors are required to follow strict protocols for containment, removal, and disposal to protect workers, occupants, and the surrounding environment.
Can I stay in my home or building during abatement?
In most cases, occupants need to vacate the affected area during abatement work. Depending on the size and scope of the project, this may mean leaving a single room or the entire property. Your contractor will advise you on what's required before work begins.
How long does hazard abatement take?
Timelines vary depending on the type of hazardous material, the size of the affected area, and the complexity of the removal. A small residential job may take a day or two, while larger commercial or industrial projects can take several weeks.
