Safe Handling of Hazardous Materials During Construction Projects

Renovation and demolition projects often involve the disturbance of hazardous materials that pose significant health and environmental risks if not properly managed. At Central Industrial Hygiene and Environmental Services (CIHP), we specialize in providing expert support for the safe identification, removal, and disposal of these substances.

With deep industry experience and a team of Certified Industrial Hygienists and Hazardous Materials Technicians, CIHP delivers end-to-end solutions from initial hazard identification to final air clearance testing. We ensure that all work is done safely, responsibly, and in full compliance with regulatory requirements.

Our Expertise in Hazardous Materials

CIHP is equipped to manage a broad range of hazardous agents commonly encountered in older buildings or industrial sites, including:

  • Asbestos-containing materials (ACM)
  • Lead-based paint
  • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
  • Mercury
  • Ozone-depleting substances (ODS)

Before any renovation or demolition begins, it is crucial to identify and safely manage all hazardous substances present in the building. This step not only protects workers and the public but is also required under provincial and federal health and safety regulations.
