Before disturbing any building materials, property owners and contractors must ensure that an asbestos evaluation has been completed. This protects workers, reduces liability, and ensures compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations.

​

An evaluation may include:

​

• A qualified inspection

• Sampling/testing of suspect materials

• Verified documentation confirming materials are asbestos-free

​Failing to evaluate materials prior to disturbance can result in unsafe exposure and regulatory violations.
