Asbestos

Many of the buildings on campus were constructed before federal regulations were passed prohibiting the use of some asbestos-containing materials. This section outlines the information, services, and consulting provided by Occupational Safety and Health Department to promote a campus environment that protects students, faculty, and staff from contact with asbestos fibers.

Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) Work Permits

All non-asbestos maintenance and construction work in Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) designated buildings must be performed under an AHERA Work Permit. Individual building permits are available for use by Facilities & Services and Technology Services employees. A consolidated permit has been created for use by contractors. Permits must be filled out before work begins and must be available at the job site throughout the duration of the work. Once work is complete, completed work permits must be provided to the Division of Safety and Compliance via email at oshs@illinois.edu or a hard copy placed in the hanging file folder across from the Tool Room in the Physical Plant Service Building.
