Abatement Practices

SHC furnishes all labor, materials, employee training, pollution, general liability, errors and omissions insurance coverage, expertise, and equipment necessary to carry out specified asbestos abatement projects. SHC will also secure all required permits including any necessary state, regional and local licenses. Although the owner is responsible for providing required notification to the EPA and any regional, state or local authority having jurisdiction on projects for asbestos removal, SHC will provide assistance to the owner as required.
Qualification Submittals

For each project SHC submits the following materials in order to establish our competency and capability to perform the specified work:

§ Work and educational qualifications and other background information that attests to the ability of SHC and its staff to competently complete the asbestos abatement tasks in question.

§ Proof that all air samples will be analyzed in a qualified laboratory: i.e., a laboratory that participates in the NIOSH Proficiency Analytical Testing Program (PAT) and has been found proficient, or a laboratory that is accredited by the AIHA for asbestos.

§ Proof that all workers have been trained in an EPA-approved asbestos training course and that all site supervisors have attended an EPA-approved abatement supervisory training course appropriate for the specific job.

§ Proof that all workers have had medical examinations as required by OSHA.

§ The name of the landfill that will be used for asbestos disposal and assurance that all regulations/laws pertaining to such disposal will be met in the form of a disposal manifest signed by the owner, transporter and landfill operator.

§ Evidence of legitimate asbestos-specific general liability insurance coverage, workman's compensation insurance and vehicle insurance.

§ When required by the client, an industrial hygienist will be provided to oversee the implementation of all aspects of safety and health procedures.
