Brock University will undertake its annual asbestos reassessment this month.

The annual reassessment is a requirement under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Brock’s Health, Safety and Wellness (HSW) team, along with consultants from Pinchin Ltd., will perform visual inspections of previously identified asbestos materials at the St. Catharines campus. This year’s assessments will take place from Wednesday, June 4 to Tuesday, June 24, during regular business hours.

As part of the process, the team will carefully inspect each area and, in some cases, collect samples while following strict safety protocols.

The Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts is not included in these assessments as asbestos abatement was conducted during previous renovations.

For questions about the assessment, including any concerns related to equipment, materials or access, contact the HSW team at [email protected] or 905-688-5550 ext. 7233.

Additional details about Brock’s asbestos management practices can be found in the Environmental Safety section of the Health, Safety and Wellness Toolbox on SharePoint.
