If you discover or suspect you’ve found asbestos anywhere on UCL premises, you must report it.
UCL has a stringent Asbestos Management Plan and safety policies designed to effectively manage the asbestos materials.
Before you start
You must stop working if you discover or suspects the presence of asbestos-containing materials.
Report it to your line manager, who will consult the UCL Asbestos Manager:
