Lead is a hazardous material that is found in many consumer and industrial products. It is commonly found in paint and various coatings and is not hazardous if the material is left intact. However, during demolition, renovations, and repairs, materials containing lead can be disturbed and create a hazardous environment.
When lead containing materials are damaged, chipped, peeling, or disturbed, lead particles are released into the air and can be inhaled or ingested. Individuals exposed to lead may develop unsafe levels of lead in their blood, which can affect the nervous system, the reproductive system, the digestive system, and more. Lead is also a known carcinogen.
Ensure a safe and healthy worksite with professional, third-party testing and abatement from Eco Pacific Environmental. We can identify the risk and develop a plan to ensure the safe handling and removal of lead-based products in full compliance with federal, provincial, regional and municipal regulations.
Lead is a regulated material through Work Safe BC and removal can be as simple as bagging debris for proper disposal or as robust as applying chemical-based pastes in a fully enclosed and sealed environment. Eco-Pacific has both the skill set and knowledge to safely remove lead-based products in a timely and cost-effective manner.
