Whether shifting into your new place, planning a home renovation, or conducting a targeted demolition, most of you might have come across the word ‘Asbestos’. Whereas, for the ones who have not, Asbestos is a mineral material that is known to possess fire-resistant or non-combustible properties. Prior to 1990, asbestos was heavily used within building materials throughout the construction industry. This was largely due to its unique characteristics and properties. However, it was later found that exposure to asbestos fibers caused multiple respiratory and lung related diseases including mesothelioma and cancer. Today, it is still Canada’s leading cause of death within the workplace. When asbestos containing building materials are in good condition, they don’t pose direct harm, however, as soon as the materials starts breaking down or showing signs of wear, they can quickly become a health hazard. it’s imperative to consider asbestos testing for your home, business, or property, in order to confirm the presence of asbestos fibers and manage such materials accordingly. Asbestos testing is also required to be conducted prior to demolition or renovation activities as per British Columbia Occupational Health & Safety Regulations.

Although the usage of asbestos in the construction of homes or commercial properties is now obsolete, it is estimated to still be found within 1/3rd of homes and buildings across the country. Asbestos was heavily used within construction materials from 1950’s to 1980’s however it may also be found within buildings much older than that that, due to past renovations and improvements throughout the decades.
