Asbestos Abatement Companies By Kirsten Hawkins, Fri Dec 9th
Asbestos Abatement Company is a company, duly approved by acompetent authority, for asbestos abatement. Such companies arespecialized to perform the actual removal of asbestos containingmaterials from the buildings. Asbestos is a group of naturallyoccurring silicate minerals. It is made up of thin, long,flexible, strong and durable fibers that are resistant to heatand fire. Because of these properties, asbestos was widely usedin building and insulation materials, fireproofing, cement, pipecovering, refractory materials, gaskets, floor tiles and jointcompounds during 1890 to 1970. Government banned the use ofasbestos after it was established that exposure to asbestosparticles suspended in the air is the only cause of manyasbestos related diseases including a very rare but deadly typeof cancer called mesothelioma. Asbestos Abatement Company isresponsible to perform its duty in accordance with the federal,state and local regulations.
Asbestos Abatement Company first looks for an accreditedasbestos building inspector. Building inspection is necessary tolocate and identify all asbestos containing materials in thebuilding. Different states have different laws to regulatebuilding inspection. For example, in few states buildinginspection report is not accepted if it is more then three yearsold. This type of regulation makes sense because an old reportmay not represent the present condition of the building.Building inspection report is useful not only
in locatingasbestos containing materials but also during pricing, biddingand subsequent removal of asbestos containing materials.
After completion of the inspection report, the AsbestosAbatement Company utilizes the report to design the removal ofasbestos containing materials with the help of an accreditedasbestos project designer. Asbestos project designer designs thesafe and expedient removal of asbestos containing material inaccordance with all applicable federal, state and localregulations. Because of the state regulations and complexity ofthe project, it is advisable to hire a separateproject-monitoring agency, duly approved by a competentauthority, to make it sure that Asbestos Abatement Company isperforming its job according to the agreed terms.
Asbestos abatement companies must be aware of the NationalEmissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants' (NESHAPs)requirements such as removal of friable asbestos containingmaterials before demolition of the buildings. Removal ofnon-friable asbestos containing materials is also necessary ifthey are likely to become friable during the demolition process
