What is a Clandestine Drug Laboratory?

Clandestine drug laboratories are illegal facilities used to manufacture illicit drugs such as methamphetamine, fentanyl, and other dangerous chemicals, often in unsafe and hazardous conditions. The chemicals and processes involved in producing illegal substances can leave behind dangerous residues, contaminate building materials, and pose long-term health risks. For anyone entering or working around these sites, exposure to toxic chemicals can lead to respiratory issues, neurological problems, skin burns, and other health conditions.

Our Clandestine Drug Laboratory Services

1. Site Assessment & Risk Evaluation

Our first step in addressing a CDL is conducting a thorough site assessment. We utilize state-of-the-art testing and sampling techniques to evaluate the contamination level and scope of the risks present at the location. This helps us determine the appropriate measures for decontamination and the safety protocols needed for remediation teams.

• • Chemical contamination assessment
  • Surface Contamination Testing: Using state-of-the-art testing methods, we analyse surfaces, water, and air to detect residual chemicals such hazardous substances including but not limited to methamphetamine, fentanyl, or other harmful chemicals.
  • Building material analysis
  • Air Quality Testing: We assess air quality for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), gases, and other airborne toxins that may still pose a risk.
  • Laboratory Analysis: Samples from the site are sent to certified laboratories for detailed chemical analysis and identification.
  • Hazard identification & risk management: We assess the potential health risks to workers, residents, and anyone exposed to the contaminated environment. A thorough risk analysis is provided to help understand the potential exposure pathways and recommend protective measures.

2. Decontamination & Remediation Services

Once contamination risks have been identified, we can provide expert decontamination and remediation services to eliminate harmful residues and restore the property to a safe condition. This process includes specialized cleaning, chemical neutralization, and disposal of hazardous waste.

• • Cleaning of contaminated surfaces and materials
  • Removal and proper disposal of hazardous chemicals / materials
  • Neutralization of dangerous substances
  • Verification of decontamination through testing and inspection

3. Health & Safety Monitoring

We understand the importance of protecting the health and safety of workers, property owners, and the community during the remediation process. We conduct air quality checks, use personal protective equipment (PPE), and offer guidance on safety measures throughout the cleanup process.

• • Air monitoring for toxic chemicals
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE) recommendations
  • Biological and health risk assessments for workers
  • Environmental safety protocols and guidelines

4. Occupational Hygiene Consulting

Our team offers expert consulting services to help businesses, government agencies, and contractors involved in CDL-related operations. We provide customized advice on safety protocols, risk assessments, and environmental health practices to ensure regulatory compliance and protect the health of all parties involved.

• • Regulatory compliance guidance (SafeWork, EPA, etc.)
  • Developing safety protocols for CDL sites (CDL Management Plans)

5. Post-Remediation Verification & Clearance

After remediation is completed, it is crucial to verify that the property is safe for re-entry. We conduct comprehensive post-remediation testing and provide clearance reports that confirm the site has met all safety and health standards. This ensures the site is no longer a risk to future occupants or workers.

• • Final inspection and testing
  • Clearance certification
  • Post-cleaning air and surface testing
