MANDATORY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

As per WorkSafeBC, it is legally required to obtain a comprehensive report on the presence of hazardous materials before beginning any construction or development project. Our skilled technicians utilize the latest equipment to conduct thorough inspections.

WHEN IS A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INSPECTION (HMI) NEEDED?

A hazardous material inspection is crucial in various scenarios to protect both health and the environment. If you’re working with buildings constructed before the 1990s, they might contain harmful substances like asbestos, lead, or mold. An HMI is essential before starting any renovations, demolitions, or new construction to identify and reduce risks. Whether you’re purchasing or leasing a property, an HMI can help uncover hidden hazards and ensure a safe environment. Additionally, industries handling chemicals must undergo regular HMIs to comply with safety regulations and prevent environmental contamination. An HMI helps you take proactive steps to manage risks effectively.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REPORT

During renovations or construction, especially in older buildings, hazardous materials can present significant risks to both workers and the surrounding area. Hazardous materials, even in small quantities, can lead to serious health concerns or accidents. Hazardous waste in British Columbia includes:

• Underground storage tanks
• Mercury
• Asbestos
• Lead
• Other harmful chemicals

A hazardous material inspection report provides a detailed assessment of the types, quantities, and conditions of any hazardous materials present on-site.
