Asbestos
is well recognized as a health hazard and is highly regulated.
An estimated 1.3 million employees in the construction and general industry face
significant asbestos exposure on the job.
Heaviest
exposures occur in the construction industry, particularly during the removal
of asbestos during renovation or demolition. Employees are also likely to be exposed
during the manufacture of asbestos products (such as textiles, friction products,
insulation, and other building materials) and during automotive brake and clutch
repair work.
