4. New Business/Open Discussion

1. Asbestos: a faculty member found a "clump" of something in her office and brought it to
Physical Plant. Office was cleaned up and air testing was done; all was within
acceptable limits. Admin assistants' office as well as other offices were also tested with
the same results. Two holes in the CB were found and were plugged. It was suggested
that birds were getting in and disturbing the asbestos.
- Visible asbestos is checked once per year;
- an asbestos training "lunch and learn" has been planned; True Grit will be doing the
presentation regarding information on what to look for and how to handle if found.
- testing done in Avila - dust above light fixture tested and was found to contain fibres;
True Grit suggested area should be cleaned.

- top of glass case on 4th floor had sprayed on fire proofing containing asbestos; Type 2
cleaning was to be done; Shannon will take photos of the 4th floor and has taken pictures
of the ceiling; testing will be done on March 27.

2. Squirrel: A worker has been experiencing a "squirrel" problem in her office. North West
Pest Control was called in to investigate. They know where it is coming into the office
but not the building. Steve Girvin, Operations Manager, inspected the vent along the
wall; holes might be underneath vent. Ursula will follow up with Steve.
Will look for visible holes with Shanon; inspect exterior walls when snow is gone; talk to
Steve re: blocking off access to office via heat vents.
