“Ensure that short term workers (e.g. phone repair workers, utility repair workers, or exterminators) who may come in contact with asbestos in a school are provided information regarding the location of asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) and suspected or assumed ACBM.”
Some Diocese of Columbus school buildings contain known or suspected asbestos-containing building materials and are subject to periodic surveillance every six months:
Each of the school buildings has been re-inspected and an Asbestos Management Plan is currently available for review at the school offices. `This notice is provided as the annual notification required by AHERA.
