OSHA and the EPA both have guidelines that require asbestos inspections and asbestos surveys. The EPA specifies that you must complete an asbestos inspection before any demolition or remodel of a commercial, educational or multi-unit residential building. OSHA requires asbestos testing and asbestos surveys to ensure a safe working environment for all occupants and employees. Failing to meet these guidelines can result in fines and other penalties.
The EPA defines "Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material" (RACM) as (a) friable asbestos material, (b) Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable, (c) Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading, or (d) Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.
Through the authority of Section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) the EPA extended worker protection requirements to state and local government employees involved in asbestos work who were not previously covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) asbestos regulations.

Asbestos surveys are required to identify if asbestos containing materials (ACM) exist in a property. The protocol development is a critical component in any asbestos abatement project as it identifies the areas that contain asbestos, documents what areas to remove and documents the health and safety aspects of the project. Understanding local, Texas and federal regulations is necessary to protect property owners and workers from unnecessary liability. The development and implementation of an asbestos abatement protocol is crucial to the completion of a successful asbestos abatement project. These companies have completed thousands of asbestos surveys with protocol development on properties including residential, large commercial buildings, governmental, healthcare and municipal buildings.
In Texas, all commercial buildings must be inspected for asbestos before you can acquire a building permit. Even if your building is new and was constructed after 1978, it has to be inspected.
