Work following a CNESST stop-work order
Is your site shut down because of a contaminant? We do the corrective work and handle the paperwork, so you can apply to resume.
We know shut-down sites
When a CNESST inspector stops a site because of asbestos or another contaminant, every lost day is expensive. We are used to these files: managing a shut-down site, the documents to produce and the steps to clear before work resumes. You do not have to learn the process while living through it.

Frequently asked questions
How soon can my site resume?
It depends on the corrective measures required and on the inspector’s decision. We provide a quote within 24 h and can mobilize a crew quickly, 7 days a week.
Who decides when work can resume?
The CNESST. Our role is to carry out the corrective work and provide the documents that support your request to resume.
Do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. We are used to the paperwork and to managing a site shut down by the CNESST: work procedures, documents to produce and file follow-up.
My site was shut down for a contaminant other than asbestos. Can you help?
Yes. We also handle lead, mold and vermiculite.
Can I keep working elsewhere on the site?
It depends on the scope of the order set by the inspector: it may cover one area, one task or the whole site. We help you understand exactly what is covered.
