Hazardous Building Materials Management

As a critical part of their due diligence, property owners, developers and purchasers of commercial and industrial real estate should conduct surveys for hazardous substances within buildings to protect themselves from inherent long term liability. By not determining the presence or absence of these substances prior to a building renovation or demolition, building owners can face costly unforeseen delays in construction projects and may be subject to stop work orders and fines from the various provincial Ministries of Labour.

​

Building owners are required to complete Designated Substances Surveys prior to work on their buildings in order to enable workers to protect themselves from the hazards associated with the presence of, and working with these substances.

​
