Hazardous Materials
Protecting the health and safety of 海角社区 students, faculty, staff and visitors is our priority. Each day the university works diligently to properly manage and remove hazardous materials found in 海角社区 buildings, including:
- Asbestos or asbestos containing materials (ACMs)
- Mould
- Lead
- Ozone depleting substances (ODS)
- Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
- Radioactive components
- Mercury
Managing Hazardous Materials on Campus
Together with the Health, Safety & Environment, we created the Hazardous Materials Management Program, or HMMP. Using inventories, awareness programs, abatement projects, audits and site-specific training, HMMP identifies, reduces and ultimately eliminates hazardous materials on campus.
We hire third party contractors and consultants (who follow our strict regulations and guidelines) to remove hazardous materials from our buildings.
Legislation
Both provincial and federal government bodies have developed legislation to safely manage and remove hazardous materials. We incorporate this legislation in our hazardous materials management and removal procedures.
