Hazardous Materials Assessments

A hazardous materials assessment is a structured process used to identify, evaluate and manage risks associated with substances that could harm people, property or the environment. These assessments are often required during facility operations, renovations or demolition activities to ensure proper handling and disposal of hazardous materials.

Mercer Safety helps employers and property owners meet regulatory requirements and reduce liability through detailed hazardous materials assessments.

Our specialists identify potential hazards, evaluate exposure risks and recommend practical solutions to control or eliminate them.

Common materials assessed include asbestos, lead, mercury, silica, mould and other chemical or biological agents. Each assessment includes:

  • Hazard identification to locate and classify materials of concern

  • Risk evaluation to determine exposure potential and control needs

  • Recommendations for safe removal, containment or ongoing management
