Washington DOSH Cites Spokane Contractor for Asbestos Violation
Washington DOSH issued a Citation and Notice of Assessment to Builder Services Group Inc. (DBA Gale Contractor Services) on January 16, 2026, for a serious violation at a Spokane construction site — specifically failing to obtain a Good Faith Inspection for asbestos before authorizing construction, renovation, or demolition work on the property as required under Washington Administrative Code. The total assessed penalty was $600, and the citation is now public record on the Washington L&I website — a reminder to all Washington contractors that asbestos compliance documentation must be secured before any renovation or demolition work begins, regardless of project size.
