Renovations
Resources for contractors and property owners on pre-renovation testing, work practice standards, and clearance.
What this collection covers
Renovation and demolition are the moments when hidden hazards are most likely to be disturbed. Cutting, sanding, or demolishing materials installed decades ago can release asbestos fibers or lead dust. That is why testing before work begins is often required and always advisable.
Before demolition or disturbance, these guides explain what to test for, when testing is mandatory, and how work-practice standards and clearance testing protect occupants and workers. They are written for contractors and owners planning projects in older residential and commercial buildings.
