Asbestos and Lead Management

Asbestos and lead are hazardous materials found in older buildings; asbestos was used for insulation and fireproofing, while lead was common in paint. Both can cause serious health problems if disturbed and inhaled or ingested. Management involves inspecting for these materials, maintaining them safely, and minimizing disturbance through repairs or removals done by trained professionals. Proper handling prevents exposure, protecting health. Regular assessment and adherence to safety regulations ensure these materials remain contained and reduce the risk of harmful exposure.
