Asbestos in soil can result from buried waste asbestos products, demolition of buildings prior to removal of asbestos products, use of recycled materials (particularly building products) contaminated with asbestos, importation of contaminated fill material or significant weathering of asbestos cement roofs (hail damage for example).

Key actions required to protect the health and safety
of your workplace or build site are:

• identification of hazards
• assessment of risks
• implementation of controls
• classification and labelling of hazardous substances
• training of personnel
• atmospheric monitoring and health surveillance

ESP consultants will assist you to minimize exposure risks associated with asbestos and other hazardous substances in your workplace or build site, and support the implementation of a practical Hazardous Substances Action Plan.

Our services include:

• Site assessment and testing to determine asbestos contamination in soil.
• Remediation of asbestos contaminated soils, preparation of remediation action plans for the ongoing management of asbestos contaminated soil in accordance with state and federal legislation.
• Environmental site assessments (ESA) to determine other soil and groundwater contaminants
