AbateDesk

For asbestos and lead abatement contractors

Asbestos abatement software that gets every signed WSR back

AbateDesk is asbestos abatement software for small abatement contractors that chases signed waste shipment records at 35 and 45 days, checks crew accreditations against job dates, and hands the inspector one site file per job.

Asbestos waste shipment record

Every load goes on a 45-day clock the moment the truck leaves site

Federal rules make the generator chase a missing signed copy at 35 days and report it at 45. On paper that means a folder nobody opens until an audit. Here every load is on a clock.

  1. Day 0

    The load leaves site

    Log the WSR number, transporter, disposal site and cubic yards when the truck pulls out. The clock starts on the ship date.

  2. Day 35

    No signed copy yet: call the landfill

    The shipment turns amber on the dashboard and lands in the morning email to the owner and office, with the disposal site to call.

  3. Day 45

    Still nothing: file the exception report

    It turns red until you log the date you reported it to your agency, so a missing manifest never just goes quiet in a folder.

Crew license tracking

An expired AHERA card shouldn't reach the job site

Keep each worker's license type, number and expiry, nothing more. Assign someone whose card lapses before the job ends and you get a warning before they suit up. A refresher replaces the old license in one entry.

NESHAP notification

The GC moved the start up. Your notice didn't move with it.

Record what you filed in the state portal with a link to the filing. If a project's start date is now earlier than the filing date plus your agency's lead days, it's flagged so you file the revision first. Lead days are rules you can edit per state.

Inspector-ready site file

The inspector asks for the job file at the decon unit door

They want the notice, the permit, a license for each person inside the containment and the waste paperwork. AbateDesk keeps all four on one page per project that prints to PDF from a phone, and the building owner can get a read-only link to it.

NESHAP notices, WSRs and crew cards, answered

Is AbateDesk asbestos removal software or project management software?
It sits in the asbestos management software family, but narrower: it holds the paperwork around each abatement job (waste shipment records, crew accreditations, and the notices and permits you filed). Bids, crew schedules and payroll stay in whatever you use now.
Does it file my NESHAP notification?
No. You keep filing in your state portal, which holds the official record. AbateDesk records what you filed, links to it, and flags any project whose planned start is now earlier than the filing date plus your agency's lead time, so you know when a revised notice is due.
What are the NESHAP asbestos notification requirements it checks?
The federal rule is written notice at least 10 working days before most regulated demolitions and renovations. Many states set their own lead times, so each company keeps its own rules by state and work type. Working days skip Saturdays and Sundays but not public holidays; always confirm lead times with your agency.
How does the asbestos waste shipment record tracking work?
Each load gets a record when it ships. At 35 days without a signed copy it is flagged to chase the disposal site, and at 45 days to file the exception report. Mark the copy returned in one tap, attach a scan, and the record closes.
Do you store photos of license cards?
Only if you choose to attach one. Card photos can show a face or date of birth, so only the owner, office admins and the worker's job supervisor can open them. They never appear on share links, printed site files or consultant views, and the old photo is deleted when a refresher replaces the license.
Can our environmental consultant use it?
Yes, on the Contractor plan. Invite the consultant to the projects they monitor; they can record notices and permits and mark WSRs returned on those jobs, without seeing the rest of your company or any card photos.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free covers one login, 3 active projects, 5 waste shipments a month and 5 workers, with no card needed. Closed projects don't count toward the limit.

Which WSRs from last month are still out?

Enter your open jobs and the manifests you're waiting on, and the dashboard answers that before the landfill closes today. Free for 3 active projects.
