Generally, asbestos-containing waste should be taken to a landfill that accepts asbestos waste. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency maintains this list and it can be found at this link List of Landfills that Accept Asbestos. Before you take asbestos to a landfill you should call that landfill to find out if they can accept asbestos waste.

of July 1, 1998, Risk Management Services has taken the responsibility of managing the University Asbestos Program. All questions and concerns regarding asbestos in campus buildings may be routed to Kevin Pearson. All Maintenance and Custodial personnel are being trained in the 2 Hour Asbestos Awareness all Newly Hired Maintenance and Custodial Personnel must be trained within 60 days of being hired.

If you have questions regarding the disposal of the siding once it is removed, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page for information on how to contact the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection

Friable asbestos can be maintained in place utilizing several techniques. Encapsulation involves applying a thick layer of an encapsulant, much like latex paint, that binds the surface of the material together and prevents encapsulation and routine monitoring are not’t enough to prevent damage. When damage occurs, removal may be the best option.

Unless the insulation is labeled as asbestos you can not tell if it is asbestos-containing. To determine the presence of asbestos Ohio law and rules require that persons certified as Asbestos Hazard Evaluation Specialists be used to identify, detect and assess asbestos-containing materials. This list is also available free of charge by contacting Ohio Department of Health Asbestos Program (614) 466-0061.

First, do not try to remove siding, insulation, shingles, or ceiling tiles if you suspect they contain asbestos. For advice on how to carry out such a project, or on how to dispose of asbestos that is not attached to a building, contact your local air pollution control agency. For a list go to http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/air/local.html

To satisfy the requirement for a written report under the asbestos survey requirements, a written statement by the property owner identifying which suspect materials are presumed to be asbestos containing would suffice. Remember to post this written statement at the work site or communicate to all persons who may come into contact with the material.

Complete an asbestos waste material shipment record and keep it with you when transporting ACM to a disposal site authorized to accept asbestos waste. The waste shipment record can be downloaded from http://www.pscleanair.org/regulated/asbestos/homeowners/form_66-145.pdf. A list of asbestos waste disposal sites can also be found at http://www.pscleanair.org/regulated/asbestos/disposal.aspx. Yes, on the completion date you specify on the submitted notification.

Materials that contain asbestos must be taken to a disposal facility authorized to accept asbestos waste. Our web page at http://www.pscleanair.org/regulated/asbestos/disposal.aspx lists these facilities within our jurisdiction.

There is no law that says asbestos has to be removed. It is only when the material can no longer be maintained in good condition and /or the airborne concentrations of asbestos are measured to be too high, or when the building is to be demolished or renovated, that removal may become the only option. In most states, asbestos may only be removed by Licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractors, utilizing Licensed Workers and Supervisors.

The primary materials where asbestos is found on campus are: insulation, floor tiles, floor sheeting, mastic, roofing, counter tops, and fume hoods. Other materials which may contain asbestos include: wallboard, taping compound, plaster, sinks, ceiling tile, spray-on fire proofing, chase panels, electrical insulation, putty/caulk. IUPUI campus buildings constructed prior to 1981 typically have asbestos-containing materials within their structures.

Only certified asbestos consultants are qualified to conduct a survey and take the necessary samples.

The Agency has prepared “how to brochures” for specific materials which can be reviewed and/or downloaded from our web site at http://www.pscleanair.org/regulated/asbestos/forms.aspx.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is responsible for developing and enforcing regulations necessary to protect the general public from exposure to airborne contaminants that are known to be hazardous to human health. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) is responsible for the health and safety of workers who may be exposed to asbestos in their work place, or in connection to their jobs.

No. Asbestos is only dangerous if it becomes airborne. As long as asbestos containing materials are not damaged, the asbestos fibers do not become airborne and do not pose a health threat to the building occupants.

Material that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure or by the forces expected to act upon the material in the course of the demolition or disposal. Such material includes, but is not limited to, thermal system insulation, surfacing material, sheet-vinyl flooring with paper-like backing, and cement asbestos products
