Asbestos Advisory
Asbestos containing materials is not a threat unless asbestos fibers become airborne due to aging, deterioration or because of damage as a result of tearing or drilling.
To preclude the possibility of ACM or PACM becoming friable and airborne, we ask that each resident refrain from disturbing the ceiling, walls and floor surfaces within hallways or common areas. Do not disturb insulation on pipes or floor tiles in your room or in common areas. If you believe that asbestos containing materials have been damaged, report this to the ResSTAR desk at (678) 839-4718 or from any campus phone by dialing 9-4718, email housing@westga.edu or wic@westga.edu or safety@westga.edu
For your information, a list of building locations and a brief description of materials such as ceiling tiles, floor tiles or pipe insulation which are known to contain asbestos is available by contacting the Office of Risk Management/Environmental Health and Safety at 678-839-6277 or emailing safety@westga.edu
