Asbestos Oversight Program
Asbestos was widely used throughout the United States since the early part of the century. Asbestos is a versatile material because of its high tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to thermal, chemical, and electrical conditions. In general, any building constructed before 1980 may have asbestos containing material (ACM).
The Office of Environmental Health and Safety, and Risk Management offer the following services for the Asbestos Management Program:
- Provides program oversight and serves as Project Supervisor for in-house Operations and Maintenance activities.
- Sample collection and analysis of building materials for asbestos content through an external contractor
- Project oversight of renovation projects involving asbestos, as well as day-to-day operations and maintenance of asbestos containing material (ACM).
- Liaison with regulatory agencies and other state agencies involving asbestos management issues.
- Maintains appropriate documentation.
