HAZARDOUS MATERIAL ASSESSMENTS
IN THE FIELD OF DEMOLITION
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES FROM PRODUCTS, CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING MATERIALS / PROCESS-RELATED HAZARDS / BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS / SPECIAL PARAMETERS
Hazardous substances play a significant role throughout the lifecycle of a property in various ways.
A key concern is the presence of usage-related contaminants and their potential impact on human health and the environment. Prior to the commencement of demolition, refurbishment, or maintenance works, clients and property owners are legally required—under the building regulations of the respective federal states and the forthcoming revision of the Hazardous Substances Ordinance—to determine whether hazardous materials are present or expected based on the building’s history and prior use.
Similarly, employers are required, as part of a risk assessment, to evaluate whether employees may be exposed to hazardous materials during their activities—particularly asbestos.
The investigation, assessment, and remediation of buildings contaminated with hazardous substances have been a core area of expertise for GBU for many years. Through extensive experience and specialized know-how in building contaminants, GBU has been certified since 2021 as a Certified Remediation Planner / Expert for Building Contaminants (GVSS).
