About Scenesafe
A Biohazard Cleaning & Drug Detection Company in Canada
Scenesafe Inc. provides drug residue testing, biohazard cleanup and decontamination for vehicles and properties in Atlantic Canada. We use rapid screening and Field MS, with written reports describing the methods, findings and limitations. Our work includes difficult vehicle contamination and recurring odour problems. For Nova Scotia projects involving pest activity, we can also quote pest control separately. Testing products and equipment are sold throughout Canada.
Our Story
Based in Halifax and Truro, we work to make services more affordable, products more user-friendly, advanced diagnostics more accessible, and our team more accountable.
We use our own-brand ScenoMS portable mass spectrometer, supplied by specialist manufacturing partners. Our hands-on comparisons and research give us confidence in its accuracy, sensitivity and performance. We send field findings and performance issues directly to our suppliers and manufacturers, helping turn practical experience into continuing product improvements.
In trace drug detection, we assess instruments through hands-on comparisons, research and field performance. We remain open to side-by-side comparisons of different products.
Our decontamination standard is to clean drug residues to below the detection limits of the selected test methods. Completion requires non-detect (negative) post-cleaning results for the target substances at the sampled locations. Our report records where we sampled, the methods used and the results.
Doing the work responsibly is our priority. We owe our clients accurate facts and a clear account of our capabilities and limitations.
We put safety first, explain the scope and cost of the work, accept projects within our capabilities and use evidence to guide decisions. We continue to review testing methods and safety procedures.
We uphold strict privacy policies, minimizing the release of scene photographs and sensitive content. Every service is delivered with the utmost discretion and respect.
Our Approach
We select testing and cleanup methods to suit the material, access and scope of each project. We explain the methods and their limitations before work begins.
