Ensure the Safety of Your Jobsite With a DSS Report
You need to obtain a designated substance assessment report if you’re embarking on a demolition, restoration, or construction project in the Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal areas. These reports are key to ensuring the health and safety of your job site. Failing to get one before you get started could result in your project getting shut down.
Asbestos Laboratories is here to help. Our team will prepare a DSS report so you can know of potential hazards. Our detailed reports will also let you know the condition of what we discover.

What is a DSS Report?
A DSS report is designed to identify toxic substances that might be at your job site. These include mould, lead, and asbestos.
Our reports also include steps that you can take to protect your workers from exposure. They can help you and your staff avoid safety and health issues that might arise during your job.
Our DSS reports can help restart a project that might’ve been shut down by an inspector. Our reports are official documentation that shows your due diligence in addressing potential risks. We recommend obtaining a DSS report before you start your project so you can be aware of any harmful substances before you start working.
What We Look For
If you suspect that dangerous materials or chemicals may be present at the work site, call Asbestos Laboratories to prepare a DSS Report so that you know the potential hazards. Whether the site is residential or commercial, we frequently find asbestos in older properties due to its common use in their construction.
A Designated Substance Survey (DSS) Report will not only identify these hazardous materials, but also tell you their condition – an important factor. Intact asbestos is usually not a great cause for concern, but damaged, flaking asbestos can be released into the air and must be removed or at least contained.
Here are examples of some of the hazardous materials we test for. Our professional inspectors can advise you on the best course of action in dealing with them.
What Can A DSS Report Do For You?
Your DSS Report thoroughly covers the hazardous substances or materials on the property, the location of each, and their condition. Using this information, you can deal with the hazard and inform workers and contractors so that they can take proper action to keep everyone safe and healthy.
You can proceed with your job without worry, knowing that you have complied with all applicable laws and regulations. You won’t be concerned about having your job shut down because you’ve got the workplace health and safety aspects covered.

Hear What Our
Clients Have to Say
Wishing I could give a 10-star review for Asbestos Labs! The woman I spoke to on the phone was so kind and patient. My concerns were validated and all my questions answered kindly by herself and the asbestos labs team. I felt as though I was asking such silly questions, since I’ve never dealt with asbestos before and I was reassured that it is very common to feel this way. I was walked through the process of taking my own samples and I had my results before I knew it! I’m very glad I chose to use asbestos labs for my samples and I will definitely recommend them in the future to others who are in need of testing.
