Why Some Hospitals are Accidents Waiting to Happen

Now is the time when hospitals across the country are getting ready for facility renovations to better service their communities. The cost of those placing patients at risk through exposure to airborne asbestos or lead dislodged during construction is immeasurable but can easily be avoided.

“Asbestos is the most prevalent and most regulated hazardous material likely to be found during a site investigation,” says Dan Taylor, Asbestos Consultant for 20 years. “Before starting renovations in a healthcare facility, there are many suspect materials that should be researched including asbestos and lead, which can be located in flooring, acoustical ceiling tiles or paint, or in harder to reach locations like, shafts and thermal system insulation or fireproofing.”
