Our inspections reports document all ACM survey results in an executive summary detailing locations, quantity, asbestos content and type, accessibility, friability, and condition. All reports are uploaded to a secure Website with login information provided to the client.

"The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires schools to "ensure that workers and building occupants, or their legal guardians, are informed at least once each school year about inspections, response actions, and post-response action activities, including periodic reinspection and surveillance activities that are planned or in progress (763.84(c)). Such notification must be done in writing and a copy placed in the management plan. Suggested notification methods may be through the publication of an article in a school district newsletter or through a separate written notice distributed to staff and sent home to a student's parent or legal guardian."

TAG Environmental advocates management of asbestos building materials in-place until removal becomes necessary. To this end we can provide simple, project-specific Operations and Maintenance Plans tailored to the specific materials. These plans include information for training of asbestos awareness and OSHA Class II, III and IV. All reports are uploaded to a secure Website with login information provided to the client. A sample of our O&M Plans is available here.

TAG Environmental provides consulting services for new construction and renovation efforts to avoid any liability in both asbestos and lead-based paint issues. Our consultants are trained in determining the best approach to building and facility construction to bring about the most cost-effective construction on-time and on-budget.

When necessary, TAG Environmental can provide the project design and specification generation to eliminate asbestos hazards. In addition, TAG Environmental will provide compliance during the project to protect the building and facility owner from occupant and employee liability issues.

TAG Environmental works extensively with asbestos abatement contractors throughout the Rocky Mountain region. We offer bid services to assist clients in pre-qualification of contractors, pre-bid services, and selection of contractors to bid the work, conduct the bid opening and selection of the best-qualified contractor for the most cost-effective project.

Specifications include specific contract language to enforce compliance with the many regulations affecting asbestos. TAG Environmental writes these contracts tailored to the clients needs.

During the course of the asbestos removal, a representative is on-site to respond to compliance questions, monitor inside and outside air levels, enforce compliance and provide for the clients best interest. Upon completion, the client is provided with required closeout documentation detailing daily activities, waste records and certification and medical records.

During abatement, air sampling is conducted to determine if any asbestos is escaping from the containment. An independent laboratory analyzes these samples, and the results posted within 24 hours. This provides the client with backup documentation needed to demonstrate compliance and support remedial actions.

All bulk and air samples are submitted to a NVLAP certified laboratory for analysis to eliminate any question of conflict of interest.

Both OSHA and AHERA require maintenance and custodial/housekeeping employees to receive some degree of asbestos awareness training if the employees' building contains asbestos building materials. In addition, we provide Class II removal training and asbestos awareness training to employees that work in a building or facility that contains asbestos materials.

All TAG Environmental staff members stay up-to-date on the complex and ever changing regulations affecting asbestos. TAG Environmental believes that the regulations can be enforced without unduly causing a burden on the building owner.
