Is It Safe to Remove or Perform Maintenance on Asbestos-containing Flooring Material?
Several adverse health effects, primarily respiratory, have been found to be associated with exposure to asbestos. The mere presence of asbestos-containing materials in a building does not in itself pose a threat to health. Exposure to asbestos can occur, however, when the material is disturbed or damaged by activities that cause asbestos fibers to become airborne. Consequently, special procedures and controls are required for the maintenance and removal of asbestos-containing materials. University and contractor employees involved in the maintenance of asbestos-containing flooring material are required to receive asbestos-awareness training annually. Removal of asbestos-containing materials may only be conducted by licensed asbestos abatement personnel. Please refer to the Floor Tile Management procedures for more information.
