Asbestos Surveys and Management Plans

OSHA regulation require that certain materials found in buildings constructed no later than 1980 be presumed to be Asbestos Containing Material (ACM), unless proven otherwise through laboratory analysis. Additionally, the EPA requires that a comprehensive asbestos survey be preformed on public/commercial buildings, regardless of the date of construction, prior to any renovation, dismantling, or demolition activities which may disturb potential ACM.

If present in occupied buildings, ACM does not necessarily have to be removed. If fact, maintaining asbestos in place is often more cost effective and desirable than removal. If left in place, ACM should be managed in accordance with an Operation and Maintenance plan designed by a licensed Management Planner. MES inspectors are Texas and Louisiana licensed Asbestos Inspectors and Management Planners.
