If you come across a situation in your home or as the duty holder of a building where asbestos is present, asbestos contractors can assist you in every step you must take. An asbestos contractor is a specialist professional that is required to be licensed and highly trained. There are certain things you should expect when hiring these experts to survey for asbestos or asbestos containing materials (ACM’s).

 

These contractors must be aware of and have a concrete understanding of the laws and regulations concerning asbestos. Since a total ban on asbestos 2005, there have been changes in policy and regulations that can result in hefty fines and imprisonment if not adhered to. You should be able to rely on the knowledge and skills of any contractor that you hire.

 

A licensed contractor should have adequate liability insurance that covers the work they perform and your assets. They should have documented experience and training in the handling and removal of asbestos and ACM’s.

 

Asbestos contractors need to follow explicit procedure when assessing for the risk of asbestos. This includes doing a survey following the current regulations and taking samples when necessary. While conducting a survey and taking samples, the surrounding area must be protected from exposure and contractors are required to wear protective gear.

 

Asbestos contractors should be well versed in knowing all of the locations that asbestos and ACM’s might be hidden. This should include sprayed-on coatings, lagging and insulating board, cement walls, roofing materials, ceiling and floor tiles, pipe work insulation, cement based sheeting, linoleum and many other places. The professional is liable for checking every available area. You are liable for leaving access to every area so it can be checked.

 

A licensed asbestos contractor must properly remove and package any samples for testing. This means as little disturbance and possible and using double polythene bags. Contractor’s must also use a registered ‘special waste’ vehicle to transport the samples to a licensed testing facility.

 

The contractor should supply you with a risk assessment and analysis report. This will detail for you their findings and recommendations. This should also include their removal strategies if necessary. Lastly, a licensed contractor should make you aware of any and all costs associated with the asbestos removal. So, when you have asbestos concerns call asbestos contractors.
