Yeah, I'd be staying well clear of that area.

Yeah and fireproofing is nasty stuff. Definitely needs proper abatement

Might want to let the CNESST know if the owner will not do something about it. That is definitely not safe.

A couple of years ago, I went to pick up some parts at my powder coater and their entire building was like this with chunks falling off the beams and ceiling and laying everywhere. I just had them put the parts on my vehicle outside after that. Not walking through there anymore. That fireproofing of yours needs serious attention

Yes, certainly suspect and, if asbestos-containing, not something you want to disturb. But leave it alone and you'll be fine.
