What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in industries for its heat resistance, strength, and insulating properties, particularly in construction materials like insulation, roofing, and flooring. There are different types of asbestos, forming microscopic fibers that can become airborne when disturbed. Inhalation of these fibers can lead to severe respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Due to its health risks, asbestos is heavily regulated or banned in many countries, and efforts are made to identify, contain, and safely remove asbestos-containing materials.
About our Asbestos Awareness Level 1 training course
