Fentanyl Testing, Cleaning, & Decontamination - British Columbia, Vancouver

S.A.H. Disaster Restoration Services is an experienced Hazardous Materials Contractor in Mold Remediation, Asbestos Abatement, Drug Lab Remediation, Bio Hazard Cleaning, & Trauma Scene Cleaning. 

The request for [F] Testing, [F] Cleaning, & [F] Decontamination has drastically increased as [F] has become a household name in Vancouver British Columbia & surrounding areas.  Our staff are trained in Safe Work Procedures to Safely Test or Decontaminate your property from [F] Abuse or [F] Production.   

It is crucial to treat all possible Fentanyl containing materials as [F] until inspected by a Qualified Person.  Seek assistance as needed by experts to keep yourself, co-workers, family members and the general public safe.

Prior to commencing [F] Decontamination, the following steps are suggested to ensure the Safety of Workers & Building Occupants.

Step 1: [F] Site Inspection (Drug Detection & Identification Products are used to identify [F] residue contaminates on surfaces.  If [F] use is known within the property, surface sampling may not be required)

Step 2.  [F] Risk Assessment

Upon completion of Positive [F] Identification & [F] Risk Assessment, our Hazardous Materials Project Manager will create a [F] Exposure Control Plan, [F] Decontamination Safe Work Procedures, & Site Specific Health & Safety Plan for your property.  Porous items such as carpets, bedding, drapes, & clothing are suggested to be disposed as [F] Contaminated Hazardous Waste.  Non-porous items such as hard wood furniture, wood floors, drywall walls & ceiling, cabinets, doors, & windows may be cleaned & treated with a product to reduce microscopic chemical residues to the smallest levels possible.  Walls, floors, ceiling, & ducts are suggested to be cleaned & encapsulated.  The [F] Risk Assessment & [F] Exposure Control plan may require Surface Wipe Sampling for residual contaminates post [F] decontamination cleaning.  Air Clearance Sampling may be required in High Risk Scenarios.  A Clearance Document is issued upon successful [F] Decontamination indicating the proper decontamination procedures were followed & the property is safe for re-occupancy.  The Clearance Document may be used to apply for a Re-Occupancy permit as per City Bylaws.

Please contact S.A.H. Disaster Restoration & speak to our [F] Testing & [F] Decontamination specialist for additional information.
