Asbestos & Lead

While it is true there are many buildings at CSUEB with building materials containing asbestos and lead, these materials do not pose a hazard unless they are disturbed. Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) maintains extensive sampling records and works closely with Facilities Management to assure staff use proper work practices when working with asbestos containing materials.

If you think you have an asbestos or lead disturbance or release, leave the area immediately and notify EHS at x5-4138. If no one is available, call University Police at x5-3791 and ask to contact EHS. Please do not leave a voice message, continue calling until you reach a live person to report the incident. Do not return to the area until permitted, or the area has been assessed by EHS.
