Founder and Senior Consultant
Before starting a renovation or demolition project, you will need a hazardous materials inspection and assessment to identify building materials that require specific removal and disposal procedures.
An Asbestos Management Plan clearly defines the procedures and responsibilities of those who have control, or to make aware of the potential asbestos hazard in the workplace.
Epoch Environmental Consulting is committed to ensuring the health and safety through inspection, material identification, and risk assessment of hazardous materials – primarily asbestos, lead and mould.
