Why Attend?

The potential for encountering hazardous materials is almost a certainty in any renovation or demolition involving older buildings. In many instances these matters have not been considered in the planning or design stages - which results in an unexpected exposure to hazardous materials such as asbestos, mould and PCBs. In addition to the health and safety concerns, poorly planned work may result in possible contamination of surrounding areas and large clean-up costs and project delays.

This Awareness Session will provide an excellent overview of the most common environmental issues facing contractors today. The identification, health risks and management of asbestos, mould and PCBs will be the primary focus. Special precautions regarding work in health care facilities will also be discussed. This “to the point” session is a must for anyone working in older buildings.

Pinchin delivers close to a hundred seminars per year and we recognize that some people are not comfortable asking potentially sensitive questions in an open forum. We will gladly deal with these one-on-one but if you want to email the question ahead of time, we'll make sure we answer it during the seminar. Send questions to General Inquiries.
