Asbestos Survey Reports

OHC Environmental Engineering, Inc. has a vast experience of conducting asbestos surveys. As part of our protocol OHC Environmental Engineering, Inc. requests documentation on the subject building including any available plans, previous inspection reports, and previous abatement records. OHC then reviews the available documentation and establishes a preliminary survey plan of action based upon the survey area. OHC Environmental, Inc. coordinates with the client on the survey date and site access. On the date scheduled for the survey, an OHC Accredited surveyor visits the site and conducts the survey. 

Here is a list of some of OHC's clients:

Asbestos Abatement and Demolition Supervision and Air Monitoring 

Upon the award of the bid, OHC contacts the contractor and requests submission of the pre-job submittals as set forth in the specification. Pre-job submittals must be in order and approved prior to the start of any work.

OHC schedules and conducts a pre-construction meeting between the contractor, the County and OHC. The project requirements and procedures as set forth in the specifications are reviewed. The project schedule, logistics and special considerations are addressed and resolved. OHC's representatives at the pre-construction meeting include an LAC and/or OHC's project manager and the resident project monitor.

The resident project monitor, prior to the start of any work, collects background air samples in the work area(s) and surroundings to establish ambient fiber levels. The contractor is then authorized to proceed with the establishment of the containment enclosure(s).

The monitor inspects the containment(s) to verify the integrity of the enclosure(s) and the establishment of negative pressure. Upon satisfactory containment, the contractor is authorized to commence abatement.

The monitor proceeds to collect area samples in and around the work area throughout the course of the work. The monitor insures that the contractor maintains safe air levels and is taking personnel samples in accordance with OSHA.

Upon the notification of the contractor, as the anticipated date for visual inspection, the monitor notifies the County.

At the completion of the abatement, the monitor conducts a thorough visual inspection of the work area(s).

Upon passing of the visual inspection, the monitor collects aggressive clearance samples.

Upon attainment of successful air sample results and final notification, the contractor is authorized to proceed with project closeout.
