Announcements
for Tuesday, July 8, 2008
from H. Jay Blauser, Facilities Management
As a part of an ongoing effort to improve the conditions of our campus
facilities, we have scheduled the routine removal of hazardous materials from
the Facilities Management Building - front office/reception area - starting on
Monday, July 21, 2008. We are scheduled to finish, pass air clearance
testing, and be approved for re-occupancy in these isolated spaces by Thursday,
July 24, 2008. These spaces will be sealed off and under negative air
pressure from the rest of the building, which can remain occupied and operate as
usual. The hazardous materials in these spaces, which contain asbestos,
include: floor tiles and floor tile mastic (glue).
During this process, Linda Saunders will be working in office 115 (vehicle pick
up/drop off, facilities requests, and facilities work orders). Regina
Brewer will be working in office 118 (CI projects and back up for vehicles,
etc).
As usual, our standard operating procedure is to have a certified industrial
hygienist onsite to monitor the process, as well as to test air samples in and
around the project areas/buildings. This monitoring is required to ensure
all work is being done in accordance with EPA, NC-OSHA, and NC Health Hazard
Control Unit’s stringent procedures. These procedures are the most
stringent in the nation for this type of work in both occupied and unoccupied
buildings. This action is taken to ensure everyone’s safety.
We regret any inconvenience that may occur as a result of this renovation
activity. Thanks in advance for your patience.
