It is the policy of the Department of Facilities Management to contract with outside firms with specialized expertise to test and abate asbestos. All employees requesting a list of asbestos and suspected asbestos locations are to be provided with a list of asbestos and suspected asbestos locations.
Employees are to be familiar with the list's locations.
Employees are not to remove or handle suspected asbestos-containing materials. Procedures Employees who come into contact with a material they suspect contains asbestos should have their supervisors arrange for appropriate examination and follow up. The director of physical plant, or his designee, shall arrange for the testing and abatement of asbestos-containing materials as the need arises. The director of physical plant, or his designee, will insure that required documentation of asbestos testing and abatement is maintained and the asbestos list is updated periodically and provided to employees.
