Meridian performs inspections for Asbestos and Lead contamination. We also provide remediation and abatement of materials contaminated by Asbestos and Lead.
Hazardous materials that affect health and safety in the United States are becoming increasingly part of our everyday lives. Building materials used in construction can contain mixtures of asbestos and lead that can be deadly or detrimental to our health and are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Strict enforcement of the handling and disposal of asbestos and lead has required the EPA to monitor and license companies engaged in abatement of these materials. Meridian is licensed to conduct regulated asbestos activities to remove and encapsulate friable Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and is a certified company for the EPA Lead Remodeling, Repair & Painting (RRP) program.
The Meridian Advantage
Biologically Hazardous substances (Biohazards) pose a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily that of humans. Bacteria and viruses can be transported through sewage, body fluids and medical waste. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has four categories of biohazards with Level One being the minimum risk to Level Four being extreme risk. Meridian has trained personnel to perform clean up and disposal of Asbestos and Lead waste.
