Hazardous Materials Identification and Management (HMIM) Programs

A successful hazardous building materials operations and maintenance program requires clearly defined responsibilities, staff awareness, and proactive administration. Astech Consultants have developed a comprehensive Hazardous Building Material Identification and Management Program, that has been specifically designed to comply with the current Workers’ Compensation Board of BC (WorkSafeBC) Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. The program involves establishing a detailed hazardous building materials inventory in order to inform building staff, as well as contracted trades, of the presence and location of hazardous building materials. Building service staff will be provided with written work procedures for proper safety precautions to observe when dealing with any damaged hazardous building materials that may be encountered during their day-to-day activities.

Pre-Demolition Hazardous Material Surveys

Prior to a building/structure demolition permit application, depending on individual city/district/township, a hazardous building materials report is required. This report must detail the presence and location of asbestos-containing building materials, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, stored chemicals, and silica.

Pre-Renovation Hazardous Material Surveys

Prior to a building renovation, a proper pre-project renovation survey is required to ensure that building occupants, as well as any contracted trades, are not exposed to asbestos fibres or any other hazardous materials which may be present.

Pre-Purchase Hazardous Material Surveys

Astech has developed a cost-effective survey and report format that includes detailed contractor budgets for the abatement of hazardous building materials, which would occur at some time in the future. The budget estimates for hazmat abatement provided in the report are intended to satisfy your due diligence and can be utilized to form a key dollar value component in negotiating a typical buy/sell agreement.
