Program Description
The purpose of the SFSU asbestos program is to minimize exposure to airborne asbestos fibers.
To this end, Facilities employees undergo annual asbestos awareness training to empower them to identify and avoid any potential fiber-forming asbestos containing building materials on campus.
Additionally, all employees receive a copy of the annual asbestos notification memo that describes the location and type of known asbestos-containing building materials.
SFSU policy prohibits employees from conducting asbestos abatement work.
Such work, when necessary, is conducted by appropriately certified contractors, approved by EH&S.
Their work requires an approved SFSU asbestos abatement permit and air monitoring by an independent third party contractor.
A copy of the Asbestos Program is readily available on the EH&S website.
CY 2023 Update
During CY 23 asbestos abatement work was conducted following the procedures described above.
