Asbestos

Ohio law and rules require that persons certified as Asbestos Hazard Evaluation Specialists be used to identify, detect, and assess asbestos-containing materials to determine the presence of asbestos. The list of certified specialists is free of charge by contacting the Ohio Department of Health Asbestos Program . Call (614) 466-0061 or send an email.

 

The safest thing is to leave the material alone. If you need to remove or disturb the material due to a renovation project, contact an Asbestos Hazard Evaluation Specialist to confirm or determine if the material is asbestos-containing. If the tile or insulation is determined to be asbestos-containing, contract with a licensed Asbestos Hazard Abatement Contractor in your area.

See more details about asbestos on the U.S. EPA website.
