Asbestos Awareness
Asbestos can be found in many older building materials, such as pipe
insulation, floor tiles, ceiling tiles and fireproofing. To prevent asbestos
exposure, OHS presents asbestos awareness training to all workers who
may accidentally disturb asbestos-containing materials during the course
of their job. The goal of this training is to teach employees how to recognize
possible asbestos-containing materials so they may avoid releasing asbestos
fibers.
OHS proactively samples materials to determine the location and amount
of asbestos materials in campus buildings. OHS also provides industrial
hygene consultation during asbestos abatement activities.
