Asbestos Removal InformationJust as there are many forms of asbestos, there are various methods of management and/or removal of asbestos containing material. Asbestos is regulated in Ontario by the Occupational Health and Safety Act. As such, asbestos removal operations must be carried out by certified asbestos abatement contractors as per Ontario Regulation 278/05. Asbestos removal procedures fall under three categories; Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. Each of these procedures requires different provisions for the removal of asbestos and will be determined based on the type and/or amount of material to be removed.

Type 2 Operations Type 2 operations are small scale activities which may generate enough airborne asbestos to require protective equipment, but are short lived. Short lived activities are less than one shift for any single project. An example of this would be minor maintenance or repair work above false ceilings where sprayed asbestos fireproofing is present on beams. In accordance with guidelines issued by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, minor removal means the removal of up to nine square feet of wet friable material. For a length of pipe, minor removal must not exceed 21 linear feet, even if less than nine square feet of material is involved. Type 3 Operations Type 3 asbestos operations are generally large scale activities which may generate significant airborne asbestos levels, may occur frequently, are of longer duration, and may pose a serious risk both to workers and to bystanders. An example of this is the major removal of friable asbestos during building renovations or before demolition.
