Asbestos and Lead Based Paint
Tarmetto provides comprehensive asbestos and lead-based paint consulting services.
Tarmetto personnel have performed hundreds of asbestos building surveys at
commercial, residential and industrial facilities. Tarmetto performs asbestos/lead
surveys featuring bulk sampling and site inspection. Tarmetto’s inspection includes
visual examination and sampling of suspicious asbestos containing materials (ACM)
and lead-based Paint (LBP). The objective of the inspection is to observe the friability,
deterioration and condition of collected samples
and create a physical description. EPA
sampling guidelines (EPA 560/5-85-024, 1985)
for Controlling Asbestos-Containing Materials in
Buildings and OSHA’s regulations concerning
building inspection and hazard assessment for
asbestos (29 CFR 1926.1101) is referenced
throughout our inspection.
Laboratories accredited by NIST/NVLAP, PAT and AIHA are retained for analysis of collected samples. Polarized Light Microscopy with Dispersion Station (PLM/DS) is used in accordance with the EPA’s interim Method of the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples (EPA-600-M4-82-020), NIOSH’s Method 7403 (Federal Register/Volume 47, No. 103/May 27, 1982) and 40 CFR 763. Subpart F.
Through a multi-phase approach of inspection,
in-place management, and abatement
oversight, Tarmetto and its strategic partners
provide our clients with practical and costeffective
solutions for the management of
asbestos and lead-based paint hazards.
