As of November 1st 2007, building owners are required to maintain on-site a record of all materials located within a building confirmed or suspected to contain asbestos. In addition, all building materials such as insulation, fireproofing, and ceiling tiles must be considered to contain asbestos unless otherwise provable.
Lakeside Green Environmental performs Asbestos Audits for building owners to confirm presence/absence and percent content of asbestos. An Asbestos Audit involves conducting a visual inspection of all areas of the building interior to determine potential sources of asbestos. Samples of suspect materials are collected following protocol established in Ontario Regulation 278 and submitted for laboratory analysis.
