Adverse environmental impacts, the health & safety of building occupants, the diligence of a property owner or manager and government intervention are drivers behind the sampling and management of hazardous material. Purchasers of a property and their financial institutions need to determine the financial liabilities related to hazardous material, such as complaints to worker health and safety boards, rental boards, legal non compliance and good management. Industrial facilities may seek to reduce their environmental footprint through elimination or reduction of hazardous chemical usage and polluting discharges.
