Employee Notification Letter

Presence of Asbestos in CSULB Buildings

December 2025

SECTION 25915 et. seq. of the California Health and Safety Code requires that a written notification be provided to employees informing them of the presence of asbestos in buildings. In order to comply with this regulation, this letter notifies you that an asbestos survey has been completed in several campus buildings and the known asbestos-containing construction materials (ACCM) are listed in the table below. Please be aware that the entries listed reflect only known asbestos-containing construction materials (ACCM). Because most campus buildings were constructed between the late 1940s and the 1960s, some building materials—such as those located above ceilings, beneath floors, within walls, or in other concealed areas—may not yet have been evaluated and could contain ACCM. Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) is actively working to complete a comprehensive campus-wide survey, and building assessments are ongoing.

The presence of asbestos in a building does not mean that the health of building occupants is endangered. If ACCM remains in good condition and is not disturbed, the likelihood of exposure is negligible. However, when ACCM is damaged or disturbed without proper controls, asbestos fibers are released into the air creating a potential exposure hazard.

Thus, it is important for employees to follow proper work practices to minimize the potential for disturbing ACCM. No work involving disturbance of physical components of any University owned or occupied building may be started without the written approval of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS). Consult with EHS and/or the University Asbestos Management Plan for specific project requirements. If you find ACCM that has been damaged, report it to Beach Building Services (BBS) at extension 54357 or EHS at extension 52283. Do not disturb damaged ACCM or asbestos debris. Only persons authorized and properly trained should perform any work which may disturb ACCM. Any renovations or demolitions required by any project on campus (department based, self-help, BBS-directed, Design and Construction Management (DCS)-directed, minor or major capital projects) must be preceded by an asbestos survey of all construction materials, completed by a Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC). The report generated by the CAC will become a permanent component of the project record, and must be maintained by the University for a period of 30 years.

Any employee may review the asbestos survey reports, results of bulk sampling, or air monitoring conducted in campus buildings. All asbestos data will be available between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday at BBS Customer Service by appointment. This document is available for review on the following website partition: https://www.csulb.edu/beach-building-services/environmental-health-and-safety

Asbestos containing building materials known to be in campus buildings are identified on the attached list. If you have any questions, please contact Michael Kitahara, Environmental Compliance Manager, Environmental Health and Safety.
