Sometimes Cheap Is Expensive©
Anyone can buy a can of paint, but can they paint a Jaguarsm?
The next time you need a Class 1 Envoironmental Containment or Environmental Enclosure of any kind, just keep in mind the risks of going by price alone.
Global Wrap® has 31 Years of Environmental Containment experience, we are usually more expensive than others, but after the first winds come though and blow their tarps and film away, we are now inexpensive compared to the others.

WARNING: INADEQUATE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT CONTAINMENTS CAN LEAD TO CRIMINAL LIABILITY UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT
Everyone in the industry (and government inspectors) knows what happens when you use cheap plastic for environmental containments – the plastic pulls away from the wall and ceiling.
Don’t let inadequate containments expose you, your managers and supervisors and your company to potential federal criminal liability.
It could happen to you.
It happened to Thomas Pearson. Mr. Pearson was a supervisor for a demolition and asbestos abatement subcontractor working on the central heating plant at the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Washington State.
Pearson was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury and charged with two counts of knowingly causing the removal of asbestos-containing materials without complying with applicable work practice standards in violation of the Clean Air Act. 42 USC §§7412 (f) (4), 7412 (h) and (h), and 7413 (c) (1).
A containment structure of plastic sheeting was placed around the area designed for asbestos removal but kept pulling away from the ceiling. Asbestos was too dry, containment walls pulled away from the ceiling, that some negative air machines were clogged and that bags of asbestos were found outside the containment area with asbestos material20on their exterior surfaces.
Pearson was convicted and sentenced to 10 months in prison. See United States v. Pearson, 274 F.3d 1225 (9th Cir. 2001): An owner, operator or supervisor of a demolition or renovation activity may be criminally liable for failure to employ proper work practice standards. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the jury was properly instructed that a "supervisor" must have significant and substantial control over the actual asbestos abatement work practices. It is not necessary for the defendant to possess ultimate control.
