Abatement Management

Meeting WorkSafeBC and BC Ministry of Environment regulations is essential for ensuring a safe workplace and preventing costly delays or penalties. At Phase Environmental, we specialize in:

· Compliance strategies for asbestos, lead, silica, and mould

· Risk assessment and mitigation planning

· Worker health and safety program development

· Regulatory documentation, inspection readiness, and audit support

We provide end-to-end support for hazardous materials compliance and abatement project management. Our team works closely with property managers, contractors, and building owners to ensure full regulatory compliance and a safe working environment.

Whether you require documentation, project oversight, or compliance audits, we deliver tailored, defensible solutions designed to protect worker health and keep your project on track.

 We develop task-specific Safe Work Procedures (SWPs) that guide workers in safely handling hazardous materials. Each SWP includes:

· Identification of hazards

· Required personal protective equipment (PPE)

· Engineering and administrative controls

· Decontamination and disposal methods

· Step-by-step work instructions

All SWPs are compliant with WorkSafeBC OHSR Part 6 – Substance-Specific Requirements.

 Our certified professionals conduct site-specific risk assessments to evaluate:

· Potential exposure risks

· Work processes and environmental factors

· Routes of hazardous material exposure

· Recommendations for control strategies

Risk assessments form the foundation for effective Exposure Control Plans (ECPs) and safe work planning.

As required under WorkSafeBC OHSR Section 5.54, we create detailed ECPs tailored to your worksite. Each plan includes:

· Purpose, roles, and responsibilities

· Risk evaluation and control measures

· Worker education and training programs

· Written procedures and hygiene protocols

· Health monitoring and documentation practices

We help ensure your site meets regulatory expectations through:

· On-site inspections to verify control measures

· Review of SWPs, ECPs, and training records

· Pre- and post-WorkSafeBC audit support

· Corrective action recommendations
