In February 2018, the University asked three experts with extensive academic knowledge and industrial expertise in public health, occupational epidemiology and occupational hygiene to review the way we handle materials containing asbestos. The panel’s mandate was to examine and evaluate U of T’s Asbestos Management Program on all three campuses and other owned properties, to make recommendations on best practices and to ensure the program complied with regulations. The University committed to making public the panel’s report and our response. The committee submitted its report Feb. 22, 2019.
