Asbestos Exposure : Emergency Learning


Asbestos Exposure Risk High in Many Occupations
High asbestos exposure is associated with many occupational settings including construction sites, shipyards, boiler and furnace maintenance, railroads, manufacturing plants, auto repair shops, and mines. Potential asbestos exposure can also occur at schools, homes and public buildings if asbestos products have fallen into disrepair or become damaged. Even some unpaved roads may be covered with asbestos–containing serpentine. Asbestos can also become an environmental hazard (see the description of life in Libby, Montana).
