- Asbestos or Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RCF)

Who is Eligible for Services?
To be seen at Occupational Health, you must be registered in one of the programs above, or obtain an authorization form from UA Risk Management (Julia Rosen at 621-1570, jcrosen@email.arizona.edu).

Injured on the Job?
We also provide medical care for certain types of work place injuries or illnesses, mostly related to potential exposures to infectious materials or chemical agents.
In the event of a job-related injury or exposure, you can come to the Campus Health Service Triage/Urgent Care area on the first floor of the building, or call 621-6493 or 621-6490. You will be directed appropriately at that time. You may also choose to be seen at any hospital, urgent care center, or your private practitioner’s office.
