A security worker in 2012 brought an action against a renovation contractor in who removed asbestos containing fire proofing materials in a portion of the building that they did not have access to. The project took place in the early 1980’s when the asbestos regulations were in their infancy.
I discovered there was a boiler replacement project with a different contractor that occurred around the same time of the renovation to the office building. The fireproofing in the office building was removed under containment conditions. The boiler room insulation was removed as an open demolition project. The boiler and associated equipment had was insulated. At the time of construction of the boiler room the thermal insulation was an asbestos containing material.
