All new employees are required to complete a one-time General Asbestos Awareness online training when hired.
Departments performing or contracting for minor installations or alterations directly, or independent of Capital Planning and Development or UW Facilities alterations, must implement applicable procedures to avoid damaging asbestos. Examples of work include purchase and installation services for office cubicles, flooring, fixed audio/visual equipment, fixed shelving, or other building fixtures.
