Brock University will soon begin its annual asbestos reassessment.<\/p>\n
The yearly reassessment is a requirement under Ontario\u2019s Occupational Health and Safety Act.<\/p>\n
Brock\u2019s Health, Safety and Wellness (HSW) team, in collaboration with environmental consultants from Pinchin Ltd., will conduct visual inspections of previously identified asbestos materials at the University\u2019s main campus. This year\u2019s assessments will take place from Wednesday, June 3 to Tuesday, June 23, during regular business hours.<\/p>\n
As part of the process, the team will carefully inspect designated areas and, in some cases, may collect samples while following strict established safety protocols.<\/p>\n
The Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts is not included in these assessments as asbestos abatement was conducted during previous renovations.<\/p>\n
For questions about the reassessment, including any concerns regarding equipment, materials or access, please contact the HSW team at besafe@brocku.ca<\/a> or Elizabeth Todd, Environmental Health and Safety Specialist, at etodd@brocku.ca<\/a><\/p>\n
