Post-Abatement Clearance Testing

After asbestos abatement work is complete, air clearance testing is an industry best practice that helps ensure the work area is safe for re-occupancy. While clearance testing is only required by regulation for K-12 schools under AHERA, it’s strongly recommended for all projects to:

Verify Successful Abatement: Confirm asbestos fibers have been properly removed and the area is safe
Protect Building Occupants: Document that air quality meets acceptable levels before re-entry
Reduce Liability: Provide third-party verification that abatement was completed properly
Meet Insurance Requirements: Many insurers require clearance testing documentation
Determine Additional Cleaning Needs: Identify if further cleaning is required before final approval

Our clearance testing follows NIOSH 7400 methodology and includes visual inspection and detailed laboratory analysis to verify that the area meets clearance criteria.
