Charles,
I've been working on a Gym with the same type of flooring. I have

comes in at or less than oak flooring, then I think we can assume
that the rubber floor is no more hazardous that the standard. At
least that's my thought.

We just finished a Gym building for a Church here. They called it a

liquid RUBBER basketball playing surface. It is still up in the air
as to "Light Hazard" or not.
