- Asbestos & Lead Management Programs
The principal objective of the Asbestos and Lead Management Programs are to provide environmental assistance to SCU University (i.e. Campus Service, Department Heads, etc.) during demolition, renovation and maintenance activities that may cause potential exposure issues of environmental hazards and to help prevent potential exposure to all building occupants during normal activities. The Asbestos and Lead Management Program also strives to keep the University in compliance with applicable hazardous material regulations.
- Crane Lifts
Before making a crane lift, a crane lift plan prepared by a qualified person such as the crane operator supervisor, or rigger is required. The lift plan shall be documented in writing and made available to all personnel involved in the crane lift. A copy of the crane lift shall be submitted to SCU EHS for review.
