The regulation amending the Quebec Construction Safety Code and the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety stipulates that all flock insulation installed before February 15, 1990, and all lagging installed before May 20, 1999, must be tested for the presence of asbestos, and the results recorded in a register. These materials are known to contain very high concentrations of asbestos fibers, which can be released into the air when handled or when in poor condition.
