WHAT IS ASBESTOS Asbestos is the name applied to six naturally occurring
minerals that are mined from the earth. The different types of asbestos include:
Chrysotile – Canada (brown asbestos)
Amosite – South Africa (white asbestos)
Crocidolite – Africa and Australia (blue asbestos)
Actinolite – USA (Libby Montana-Vermiculite Insulation)
Tremolite – (Occasionally found with talcum powders)
Anthophyllite – (Occasionally found in certain vermiculites)
Peak Earth and Environmental Consulting Inc. 3
TYPES OF ASBESTOS There are Two Main Types of Asbestos Found in Building Materials
Serpentine Asbestos
- Chrysotile
- Defined as a wavy fibre
- Accounts for 90% of the asbestos used in building materials in
Canada
Amphibole Asbestos (in order of commercial use)
- Amosite, Crocidolite, Actinolite, Tremolite and Anthophyllite
- Defined as a Hard Strait Fiber
- More likely to cause disease due to the make up of the fibre

WHAT ARE THE
ADVANTAGEOUS QUALITIES OF ASBESTOS?
Chemical resistance (will not corrode)
Thermal resistance (will not burn)
Tensile strength (proportionally as strong as steel)
Ability to be woven or incorporated into other
products

WHERE IS ASBESTOS USED
Asbestos was known as the product with a thousand uses, but today has been used in over 3000 manufactured products; typical uses include:
Insulation (heat resistance and thermal insulating qualities)
Vinyl flooring (tensile strength)
Gasketing (heat resistance and tensile strength)
Textiles (heat resistance and tensile strength)
Cement board and piping (tensile strength and chemical resistance)
Auto brake shoes (heat resistance and tensile strength)
Roofing felts (tensile strength, chemical and decay resistance)
Asphalt (tensile strength)

ASBSTOS RELATED DISEASE
ASBESTOSIS
Asbestosis is the name given to
scarring and stiffening of the lungs
caused by inhaling asbestos dust over
many years. It makes breathing difficult.
It can lead to fatal complications such
as pneumonia, heart disease, and lung
cancer

ASBSTOS RELATED DISEASE MESOTHELIOMA - A rare cancer of the linings of the lungs and
abdomen that almost always leads to death.
- Practically all mesothelioma cases are linked to asbestos exposure. These diseases usually develop decades – 25 to 40 years – after the worker was exposed to asbestos fibres.
- Workers who develop asbestosis or mesothelioma have usually been exposed to asbestos fibres during processes such as installing, removing, or simply working around asbestos insulation or other asbestos-containing materials.
Peak Earth and Environmental Consulting Inc. 17
The bottom lines shows the period when asbestos-
containing materials were heavily used with little or no
controls or worker protection. The next line shows when
claims for asbestos-related diseases were accepted by the
WCB; the number of claims is expected to have peaked
and to have begun tapering off by 2010. The top two lines
show the period of deaths from the earlier asbestos
exposure, projected into the future. Workers with
asbestosis generally survive longer than workers with
mesothelioma.

WHAT REGULATIONS ARE IN PLACE REGARDING ASBESTOS?
WorkSafeBC (WCB) Occupational Health and Safety Regulation
- Establishes worker exposure limits for protected and unprotected persons
- Details worker training and work area preparation for removal
- Limits its use
Health and Welfare Canada
- Federally Regulated Sties (CP, CN, Canada Post)
Ministry of Water Air and Land Protection - Hazardous waste generator requirements
- Disposal requirements
Department of Transportation - Transportation of Dangerous Good Regulation

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT - died of asbestos-related disease had been exposed to asbestos while working for a metal product manufacturer in the 1960s and 1970s.
PHYSICAL PLANT ENGINEER - died of mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos while working around boilers and steam works.
Peak Earth and Environmental Consulting Inc. 24
Work-related diseases present special challenges because workers may
not be aware they have a health problem until many years after their
exposure. For example, workers exposed to asbestos may wait as long as
25 to 40 years before they receive a diagnosis of asbestosis or
mesothelioma.
Asbestosis is often a slowly progressive disease, meaning that most of the
workers who died of asbestosis in 2001 had their claims accepted by the
WCB 15 to 25 years earlier. Mesothelioma is a relatively rapid progressive
disease, meaning that most of those who died of of mesothelioma in 2001
had their claims accepted 6 months to 2 years earlier.
As workers reach the end of the 25 to 40 year period after exposure to
asbestos, more and more workers are being diagnosed with this disease.
For example, the WCB accepted 41 mesothelioma claims for long-term
disability in 2001 compared with 5 claims in 1990.

Two of the most important things school districts can do are to maintain an
accurate inventory of asbestos-containing materials in their buildings, and to
keep that inventory up-to-date. This information must be reviewed carefully
and communicated to workers before any demolition or renovation work takes
place.
HOW CAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS REDUCE THE
RISK OF WORKER EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS?

HOW CAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS REDUCE THE
RISK OF WORKER EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS?
Any gaps in the asbestos inventory should be filled by sampling (or re-
sampling) suspected building products. This is particularly important for
gypsum board filler as well as concealed linoleum and vinyl tile flooring,
because classrooms may contain a mixture of asbestos-containing wall,
ceiling, and flooring materials both exposed and concealed beneath covering
carpeting and non-asbestos flooring materials.

Loose-fill vermiculite insulation can be present in attics and concrete block
walls. This material may contain between 0.3 and seven percent asbestos.
Asbestos is an ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) substance, and
workers must be made aware of its presence even in small amounts (i.e., less
than one percent).

It is very important to make sure that the person who conducts the
assessment and sampling is qualified and trained, and that the samples are
sent to a qualified asbestos laboratory for analysis.

ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS LOCATED WITHIN
RUTLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL The following asbestos-containing materials have been identified within the above noted building:
Asbestos insulating cement on hot water heating pipe fittings in limited areas within the building
Vinyl floor tile and sheeting applications located in various areas throughout the building
Asbestos-containing block fill material is present in perimeter concrete block walls The risk of exposure to airborne asbestos is related to the condition of the asbestos application and its friability. Friable asbestos-containing materials, such as insulating cements, mechanical insulation and asbestos paper products pose the greatest risk of exposure to building occupants as they are easily crumbled by hand releasing airborne asbestos fibres when damaged or exposed. Non-friable materials, such as vinyl flooring, cement asbestos board and drywall filler applications pose a lesser risk as they are not easily crumbled by hand and must be broken or mechanically abraded to release asbestos fibres.
Friable asbestos applications have been identified within this building as insulating cement on hot water heating pipe fittings in four (4) areas of the building. As access to theses asbestos application is limited and controlled, the applications are in good condition and enclosed beneath a layer of canvass and glue, there is currently no building occupant risk of exposure to airborne asbestos from this application.
Non-friable asbestos applications have been identified within this building as vinyl flooring applications. As these applications are non-friable and in good condition, mechanical abrasion would be required to create the release of the asbestos fibres which are bound into the matrix of the material. There is currently no building occupant risk of exposure to airborne asbestos from this application.
