How can I obtain a designated substance survey for hazardous materials?

To obtain a designated substance survey (DSS) for hazardous material, a competent person or consultant will perform a walkthrough of the facility to identify materials suspected of containing designated substances. The survey also includes collecting samples of suspect materials to be analyzed by a lab, identifying the type and condition of suspect materials, and providing a DSS report to the owner. This report can be delivered to prospective contractors so that they can take measures to protect workers.
