Is Preventis compliant with CNESST asbestos regulations?
Yes. Our software workflows and consulting services are updated in real-time to reflect the latest legal requirements under the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety and Bill 121.
Can we import our existing asbestos reports into the software?
Absolutely. Preventis can migrate data from your existing laboratory PDF reports and Excel registries directly into the module to accelerate your digital transition.
Who is responsible for maintaining the Asbestos Management Program?
Under current Canadian and Quebec law, the building owner or employer is legally responsible for maintaining an up-to-date asbestos registry. Preventis acts as your technical partner to ensure this responsibility is met accurately.
Does the software support "Safe to Work" permits?
Yes. You can seamlessly integrate the Asbestos Module with our Work Permit system. This ensures contractors acknowledge the presence of asbestos before any work order is activated.
How often should an asbestos inventory be updated?
An asbestos inventory must be updated whenever new materials are identified, when ACM is removed, or at least every two years to assess the condition and degradation of remaining materials.
What is the difference between an asbestos survey and an AMP?
An asbestos survey is the initial inspection and sampling used to locate asbestos. The Asbestos Management Program (AMP) is the ongoing, operational plan used to manage those materials safely over time.
Who can perform an asbestos inspection?
Inspections must be conducted by a "competent person" equipped with the necessary technical knowledge and certified training to identify hazardous materials and evaluate their risk level.
Can software replace a physical asbestos inspection?
No. Software is an administrative tool used to store, track, and manage the data collected during a physical inspection. It ensures your data is actionable and compliant, but physical on-site sampling is still legally required.
