Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are present in many of the buildings throughout 大象传媒. These materials do not pose a health hazard unless the asbestos becomes airborne through construction activities or deteriorated materials. For general inquiries about hazardous building materials, please contact hazmat_work@sfu.ca.
Exposure control
大象传媒 is required to control, prevent and limit the exposure of airborne asbestos fibres as low as reasonably achievable. To meet this requirement 大象传媒 has developed an Asbestos Exposure Control Plan.
Asbestos Exposure Control Plan
厂贵鲍鈥檚 Asbestos Exposure Control Plan outlines the management of asbestos-containing materials and the roles and responsibilities of 大象传媒 staff and building occupants. As well, the plan discusses the process of asbestos abatement and details asbestos emergency procedures.
The primary focus of the plan is to eliminate accidental worker, student and contractor exposure to airborne asbestos fibres and to ensure the health and safety of building occupants and visitors. This is achieved by identifying asbestos-containing materials, abating or encapsulating the ACM鈥檚, training and educating workers whose work activities have a potential to disturb ACM鈥檚 and raising awareness of ACM鈥檚 for all members of the University community.
Asbestos abatement at 大象传媒

In addition, a third party, qualified consultant reviews work procedures, conducts inspections and collects air samples to confirm that all safe work procedures are strictly adhered to.
