FAQs

Asbestos is a significant concern in facility management because when disturbed, asbestos fibres can be released into the air, leading to serious health risks if inhaled. Exposure to asbestos can cause severe diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Facilities that were built before the 1980s are particularly at risk, as asbestos was commonly used in construction materials.

Asbestos is most commonly found in buildings constructed before the 1980s, in materials such as:

  • Insulation: Around pipes, boilers, ducts, and other heating systems.
  • Ceiling Tiles: Acoustic tiles or textured ceilings may contain asbestos.
  • Flooring: Asbestos was commonly used in vinyl tiles and linoleum.
  • Spray-on Insulation: Asbestos was used in fireproofing and spray-applied coatings on beams, columns, and ceilings.
  • Wallboard: Some wall panels, particularly in older buildings, contain asbestos.
  • Roofing: Asbestos may be present in roofing shingles, coatings, or felts.
