This wall was to the supply room with all of the uniforms and PPE. The building was constructed in the mid-20th century so it turns out it’s full of asbestos. Thanks mole man.
That rules
i’m pretty impulsive sometimes, but arbitrarily making a hole in the wall is beyond my powers
Worked with a guy who didn’t want to wear PPE because it was uncomfortable. We were demolishing a building and he was sawing thru old insulation tubes. We had to wear PPE because the tubes were full of asbestos. He didn’t wear PPE, he understood what asbestos was. I still can’t figure it out.
On three separate occasions this past school year, some contractors were removing asbestos from one of the labs in the basement. The only notice was a paper sign posted very inconspicuously on two of the building doors, the day removal started.
They did some sealing on the hallway that room was in, but otherwise no precautions were taken. My office was two hallways down, and all classes in the building ran like normal. Very safe, very good
I see we have a resident asbestos expert. A few years ago I was responsible for removing some equipment that was mounted to the drop ceiling before they demolished a room to renovate. A few days after my part while they were mid demo the asbestos remediation signs showed up and big tubes were strung through the hallways. I didn’t work in that building so I’m not worried about what was disturbed by demo and spread around but have to wonder how much exposure I got being in the plenum space for about fifteen minutes.
