Coordinating PCB checks across multiple buildings

GUIDE / 01

Prioritize properties that have not yet been checked

First, organize information about the buildings you own or manage, their age, whether they have cubicles, inspection records, and past replacement history. Rather than addressing everything at once, prioritize properties where PCB checks are more likely to be needed.

• We compile a list of building names, locations, ages, and whether receiving equipment is present.
• We review inspection records, past PCB analyses, and disposal records.
• We decide which properties to check first based on deadlines and usage.

Record the check status for each property

For multiple buildings, the biggest burden is ambiguity about which ones have or have not been checked. We record the exterior of each electrical cubicle, equipment covered, nameplate, analysis results, and next steps by property, and organize the information in a format suited to internal reporting and owner briefings.

• We organize nameplate photos, manufacturer, model number, and manufacturing date by property.
• Separate equipment that requires analysis, equipment that has been analyzed, and equipment that has been disposed of.
• We track progress in a format that property managers, head office, and owners can review.

Plan ahead for disposal arrangements after inspection

If PCB is detected, a series of steps is required, including removal, collection and transportation, treatment at an appropriate facility, notification, and recordkeeping. To ensure the process does not stop at testing, we plan ahead for the actions required once results are available.

• We distinguish the roles of inspection, analysis, removal, collection and transport, and processing facilities.
• We will confirm power outage work, removal routes, attendance requirements, and tenant notifications.
• We keep a record for each property after disposal, in a format that can be used as a management history.

Reduce the Need to Explain Requirements at Each Facility

PCB involves many technical terms and can be difficult to explain to your company, property owner, or tenants. PCB is not radioactive. Using official information, we clearly explain why checks are needed and what to do next regarding this chemical, which is harmful to human health and the environment.

• We will organize the equipment covered, the reason for the check, and next steps for each property.
• We’ll refer to official information and use wording that is less likely to cause misunderstandings.
• Make it easier for headquarters and property management companies to track progress across multiple buildings.

Information to Share First

For an initial consultation, it helps to have the number of properties, building locations, building ages, photos of the cubicles, inspection records, and information about whether a chief electrical engineer is appointed. If you do not have all this information, you can still consult us with what you know.

• Property list, building name, address, age, and use
• Photos of the cubicle, nameplates, transformers, and high-voltage capacitors
• Inspection records, analysis records, replacement history, and disposal records
