Ministry: No asbestos danger at Prospect Primary

The Ministry of Education today sought to allay public fear that there is some danger of asbestos contamination within the Prospect Primary School.

A Ministry Spokesperson today noted that approximately two weeks ago, asbestos was found in the mastic that binds the tile to the floor. This was removed under an approved permit from the Department of Health and the all clear was given last week.

It is important to note that there is no danger to any persons in or around the building as the asbestos was not airborne and has been abated.
