These Asbestos Blockplans DO NOT include the following asbestos containing materials,
which are commonly found in most University buildings:



Thermal insulations such as pipe, boiler, tank, or duct insulation; these are assumed to
contain asbestos unless they are obviously fiberglass or foam rubber.
Resilient floorings (i.e. 12"x12" and 9"x9" Floor Tile, Linoleum, etc.); these are also
assumed to contain asbestos
Soapstone Lab Bench Tops are also assumed to contain asbestos.
Note: Many of these materials are above drop ceilings or encased in walls and are not readily
visible.
If needed, more specific locations of asbestos containing materials can be obtained by calling
Environmental Health and Safety at 814-865-6391 (863-1111 after 5 P.M.).
For more information on recognition and identification of other common asbestos containing
materials and regulations, see the “Identification/Quick Reference for Asbestos-Containing
Building Materials” link on the EHS Asbestos Webpage.
