Mould in commercial buildings and properties.

Ensuring the health and safety of your employees is very important.  The Occupational Health and Safety has set out standards that outline the employers responsibility to ensure the protection of workers from mould in the workplace.

Asbestos in commercial buildings and properties.

Asbestos in the workplace is a serious health risk.  The government of Ontario regulations require that commercial asbestos removal is handled by certified professionals.

Trying to remove asbestos on your own is a dangerous health risk to you and your workers.  Improper removal of asbestos can also lead to legal issues and fines.

With over 25 years combined experience, all of our technicians are fully certified and have completed the Asbestos Abatement Worker Training Program.
