Asbestos Testing More Info...
Asbestos testing is a crucial step in ensuring the safety of homes, businesses, and renovation projects across Toronto. Many older buildings still contain asbestos in materials such as insulation, tiles, or drywall compounds. Disturbing these materials can release dangerous fibres into the air, creating serious health risks. At Clear Air, we provide professional asbestos testing to identify potential hazards before they become a problem.
In Ontario, asbestos management is governed by Ontario Regulation 278/05 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. This regulation requires that building owners and constructors identify, test, and maintain records of any asbestos-containing materials in their properties. It also outlines strict procedures for testing, reporting, and safely handling asbestos to protect workers and occupants. Compliance with these requirements is not only a legal obligation but also essential for maintaining a safe environment.
Our team follows the standards outlined in Regulation 278/05, conducting thorough inspections and laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of asbestos. We deliver clear reports and guidance, helping property owners meet regulatory requirements and plan safe next steps. With professional testing, you can make informed decisions while ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
