Demolition of the old FH Collins School building The departments of Education and Highways and Public Works are working together to ensure the continued safety of staff and students during the demolition of the old FH Collins School building. As with all abatement projects and in accordance with the Yukon Occupational Health and Safety regulation, all hazardous materials will be abated and removed from the building prior to the demolition. To prevent airborne asbestos particles, water is being used extensively throughout the process of removing hazardous materials. Once abatement work begins on the building’s exterior, areas containing any hazardous materials will be wrapped. The work plan for the project has been approved by Yukon Occupational Health and Safety Officers and requires the contractor to conduct air monitoring tests to ensure all control measures are effective. During disposal, all debris containing hazardous material will be safely contained prior to transportation to the city’s waste management facilities, where it will be properly treated to prevent any exposure.
