Asbestos is a dangerous substance with the potential to cause serious health conditions. It was a popular material used in construction due to its fire-resistant properties, chemical resistance and tensile strength. Though it is no more in use, it is still present in many old buildings and can cause serious health problems to those who disturb it as part of their work, such as demolition workers, heating engineers, carpenters and plumbers. If you are an employer, providing your employees with asbestos awareness and handling courses will help you comply with current regulations.
