The City of Saskatoon is taking a step toward establishment of an asbestos registry.

A report tabled at city council Monday reveals 14 municipal buildings contain asbestos while another 75 are also likely to contain the harmful substance.

Asbestos is considered a major health hazard, but does not pose a danger if left undisturbed.

An asbestos audit of civic facilities will be conducted, and the results will be registered with Saskatchewan Labour in a public asbestos registry.
