Asbestos Removers – Hazardous Material Workers
Asbestos Workers, Mould Removers, Fire Stopping, Sprayed Polyurethane Applicators, Polypropylene Plastic Sheet Membrane Applicators, Air Vapour Barriers and Hazmat Technicians are exclusive and special trades IUPAT represents throughout Ontario. Asbestos Workers, Hazmat Technicians and those mentioned require specialized training and must perform their craft in commercial and residential areas that are usually restricted. Because of the dangerous nature of these crafts, IUPAT is working with the Interior Finishing Systems Training Centre (IFSTC) for training in health and safety as well as skills enrichment. Mandatory health and safety certificates are required prior to starting work.
