Asbestos Management
The Asbestos Management Program is managed by Building Operations on behalf of UBC.
The mandate of the Asbestos Management Program is to control the potential hazards of exposure to airborne asbestos fibres by the identification and elimination, or the encapsulation of asbestos-containing materials.
UBC had many buildings constructed/renovated during decades when asbestos was a common addition to building materials. Check out our latest Asbestos Alert Bulletin for the locations of known asbestos materials on campus.
Our services include:
- Inspection, inventory and documentation of ACM in UBC facilities.
- Providing support for University stakeholders during renovation and maintenance projects.
- Implementation and maintenance of an on-site information system on asbestos materials through the placement of identification labels in every room on campus.
Contact the Asbestos Management Group at Building Operations for any questions or concerns at 604.822.8772.
