#  Asbestos Waste 

 



## Summary

How to follow asbestos waste regulatory requirements and use the [Asbestos Waste Shipment Record (AWSR) Management System](https://awsr.vpcs.harvard.edu/) to track waste shipments.

## Who is this for?

- Building and operations management.
- Harvard construction project managers.
- Service contractors and vendors engaged in Harvard construction projects.



 

 

##  Managing asbestos waste 

You must dispose of all asbestos waste generated from a Harvard construction, demolition, or renovation project at an approved disposal facility within 45 days of leaving campus to meet regulatory requirements.

Asbestos abatement contractors must:

- Have an active contract with Harvard.
- Be an [EHS qualified vendor](/resource/service-contractors-and-vendors "Service Contractors and Vendors").
- Attend an AWSR management system training session.
- Use the AWSR management system for all asbestos waste generated from construction, demolition, and renovation projects (except for waste that is shipped on a hazardous waste manifest because it also contains materials like lead or PCBs).



 

##  Using the Asbestos Waste Shipment Record Management System 

Building managers and asbestos abatement contractors can use the online AWSR Management System to:

- Manage AWSRs.
- Track regulatory waste shipping and disposal compliance dates.

Use your user ID and password to access the AWSR Management System.
