Crew works at removal of asbestos
By Kristi Schroeder
Staff writer
While a Wichita company faces a $500 fine for the improper removal of asbestos at the University of Kansas, workers continue to rid the Lawrence campus of the hazardous material, facilities operations said Monday.
"IAs people in the University community discover and bring to our attention problems, we initiate paperwork to inspect it." Tom Anderson.
"We take care of it," he said. "We seal it, cover it, remove it and replace the insulation materials with other materials."
Apostesbis is a fire-proofing material which is thought to cause cancer, chronic lung inflammation or other infections. Fibers are lodged in the lungs.
Some asbestos removal is being done on the Lawrence campus now, Adderson said. Those removals are being done by a specially trained University abatement crew - not through contract labor. The workers are by the university's small scale and are needed on a daily basis.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the basic guidelines used for the removal are giving the workers protective suits and air masks to wear during removal, wetting the material before filtration, preventing the release fibers into the air and isolating the work area.
on May 19, B&T Removal of Wichita was fined by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for violating its removal regulations. The company was fired for incompletely containing asbestos on its building. The company also destroyed the asbestos, said Bail Moody, a spokesman for KDHE.
Anderson declined comment on the BAT fine and said the University was longer involved in the case.
Anderson said the only increase in asbestos removal in the summer would be in an area that is highly used by students.
The safe removal of asbestos from the University is aided by more sophisticated techniques and education of workers, Anderson said.
"We're learning more everyday," he said. "We're better equipped now than we were three months ago, and three months ago we were better equipped than three months before that."
