Firm not able to prove that asbestos-containing materials had been safely removed
Safe and Sound Environmentals has received a $40,000 fine from WorkSafeBC.
This firm had conducted pre-demolition asbestos abatement at a house in Delta, B.C. WorkSafeBC inspected the site after the house had been demolished.
The firm was unable to provide a clearance letter, air sample results, waste disposal records, or other evidence to show that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) had been removed in accordance with safe work practices.
The firm failed to safely contain or remove all hazardous materials, and failed to have a qualified person confirm in writing that all hazardous materials had been contained or removed. These were both repeated and high-risk violations.
