Almost all older buildings and facilities have the potential to contain asbestos. This can present problems when renovating or demolishing existing buildings, and can pose a health hazard to tenants.   Federal and state laws require building owners to properly assess and manage the potential presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) prior to renovation or demolition. ABF Environmental can help protect the safety of building tenants while reducing risk for building owners by providing collaborative, professional asbestos consulting services.

AHERA Compliance Services

AHERA stands for Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act.
