A brief description of the institution’s indoor air quality program(s) (including information about regular auditing or monitoring, mechanisms for occupants to register complaints, and action plans):
The Physical Plant Operations (PPO) oversees HVAC, which includes equipment maintenance, scheduled filter changes, building fresh air, air-balancing, fume hood maintenance, etc., for the campus. There are fact sheets for asbestos, mold and lead on the Department of Risk Management (DRM) web page. Included in the fact sheets are web sites that individuals can use to obtain more information. All asbestos abatement is achieved using licensed third party contractors.
Facility Services maintains a 24 hr Service Response Center for campus residents to register IAQ complaints. Baylor's DRM maintains a full time Asbestos and IAQ Coordinator tasked with managing the investigation and remediation of all IAQ complaints. The DRM investigates all IAQ complaints and if the situation warrants, all sampling, remediation, etc., is achieved through licensed third parties. Consulting services are obtained on an as needed basis. Compliance with local, state and federal regulations are achieved by the use of consulting services and education gained by attending classes, conferences, seminars, etc.
