RAAC structural panels have been in the news a lot recently, especially with the highly publicized closure of the Ontario Science Centre. In response many building owners and facility managers have started to reassess their building asset inventory and are trying to determine if any of their buildings might have RAAC panels as part of their structure. A lot of questions are being asked about what needs to be done for overall public safety and what needs to be done to maintain buildings with RAAC for the future.

The purpose of this Webinar will be to present information and facts about RAAC, to weed through some of the myths and confusion with what is publicized and talked about, and to aid in coming up with a safe plan for understanding, assessing, and dealing with RAAC.
