Asbestos Surveys: Identifying and assessing asbestos risks in accordance with UAE environmental health and safety regulations.
Our green infrastructure strategies directly contribute to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by enhancing energy efficiency, reducing emissions, and promoting climate-conscious urban planning:
- Good Health & Well-being (SDG 3) – Asbestos exposure is a silent threat, linked to deadly diseases like lung cancer and mesothelioma. Through our removal programs, we eliminate exposure risks in homes, workplaces, and public spaces, ensuring people can live and work in safer environments.
- Clean Water & Sanitation (SDG 6) – Many older water infrastructure systems across the GCC were built using asbestos-cement pipes, posing a contamination risk. By removing and replacing X kilometres of outdated piping, we help safeguard clean water supplies and prevent hazardous material from leaching into public water systems.
- Decent Work & Economic Growth (SDG 8) – We implement some of the strictest asbestos-handling protocols in the region, ensuring every worker has the training, equipment, and oversight needed to perform their job safely. Our workforce development programs also create specialized career opportunities in asbestos management and environmental safety.
- Sustainable Cities & Communities (SDG 11) – As cities modernize, many older buildings and industrial sites still contain asbestos. We provide expert remediation and safe demolition strategies, ensuring urban development projects move forward without exposing workers or residents to airborne fibers.
- Responsible Consumption & Production (SDG 12) – We go beyond simply removing asbestos, we focus on responsible disposal and sustainable alternatives. Every project we undertake follows strict waste containment protocols, with asbestos safely transported to licensed hazardous waste facilities to prevent environmental contamination.
Our work is guided by some of the world’s most stringent asbestos regulations and industry standards:
- Basel Convention Compliance – As a recognized leader in hazardous material management, we adhere to international laws governing the safe transportation, storage, and disposal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
- GCC Environmental Directives – We strictly follow national asbestos bans, removal procedures, and disposal laws across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar, ensuring full compliance with regional environmental regulations.
- ISO 45001: Occupational Health & Safety – This gold-standard certification reflects our commitment to workplace safety, ensuring our teams operate in asbestos-free, risk-controlled environments.
- ISO 14001: Environmental Management – Our sustainable asbestos abatement strategies prioritize eco-conscious removal, transport, and disposal, minimizing environmental harm while ensuring compliance with global best practices.
- UK Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 Compliance – We align with one of the strictest asbestos management frameworks globally, incorporating risk assessments, exposure monitoring, and strict worker safety measures into every project.
Environmental regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, requiring businesses to proactively manage compliance risks. We support organizations in meeting regulatory expectations, securing approvals, and embedding sustainability into operations through:
We take asbestos risk management beyond compliance by integrating advanced monitoring, reporting, and circular economy principles into our approach.

Our work has already transformed major sites across the GCC, making communities safer, healthier, and asbestos-free:
- King Abdulaziz Port, Dammam – Removed X tons of asbestos-containing materials from port infrastructure, enhancing worker and visitor safety in compliance with maritime safety laws.
- National Water Sites, Riyadh – Replaced X kilometres of asbestos-cement pipes, securing clean water access for thousands of residents and ensuring compliance with GCC environmental regulations.
- Saudi Aramco Industrial Facilities – Conducted full asbestos abatement across multiple industrial sites, ensuring compliance with ISO 45001 safety protocols and Basel Convention waste management guidelines.
- NEOM Smart City Development – Designed and implemented an asbestos-free infrastructure policy, ensuring zero asbestos materials were used in construction phases 1 & 2, supporting the project’s Vision 2030 sustainability goals.
At Green Way Environmental Consultants, we don’t just remove asbestos, we help build a future where it’s no longer a threat. Our proactive approach, combined with world-class expertise and cutting-edge safety measures, ensures people, workplaces, and cities can thrive without hidden environmental risks.
