The 5-Step Abatement Process

1. Inspection & Testing

A certified inspector locates and samples potential asbestos materials, sending them to an accredited lab. This critical step guides all subsequent procedures.

2. Planning & Containment

Only licensed professionals should create an abatement plan under regulations like OSHA, EPA, and WorkSafeBC. The work area must be sealed with plastic sheeting, with negative-pressure HEPA air systems preventing fiber escape.

3. Safe Removal or Encapsulation

Materials are wetted down to reduce dust, removed with specialized tools, and workers wear full PPE—including respirators with HEPA filters and disposable suits .

4. Clean-Up & Waste Bagging

HEPA vacuums and wet wiping are used to eliminate all traces of asbestos. Waste is double- or triple-bagged in sealed, labeled containers and kept wet until disposal.

5. Disposal & Clearance

Bags are transported under strict regulatory controls to approved landfills. Air quality is tested to confirm safe re-occupancy, and a clearance certificate is issued.
