56 Services, Inc. performs asbestos regulatory compliance services to help our clients navigate and effectively meet the regulatory requirements set forth by Federal, state and local agencies including EPA, OSHA and NYSDOL. Our asbestos related services can encompass the full project scope or be utilized for specific aspects of a project including asbestos surveys, project monitoring and site-specific applicable variance preparation.

California has the right idea. NY will hopefully follow suit with conflict-of-interest contractors.

"California Business and Professions Code Section 7180-7189.7:
7187. When a building owner or operator contracts with an asbestos consultant or site surveillance technician for performance of the activities described in Sections 7181 and 7182, that asbestos consultant or site surveillance technician shall not have any financial or proprietary interest in an asbestos abatement contractor hired for the same project...
...It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to make certain that the asbestos-related work performed by a consultant is performed in a manner which provides for independent professional judgment undertaken without consideration of the financial or beneficial interest of the contractor."
