Asbestos and Lead Safety (ALSS)

Asbestos and Lead Safety (ALSS) refers to practices aimed at protecting people from the health risks associated with asbestos and lead exposure. Asbestos, a mineral once widely used in construction, can cause serious lung diseases when inhaled. Lead, found in older paints and plumbing, can lead to neurological damage, especially in children. ALSS involves identifying and safely managing these materials, using protective equipment, and following strict guidelines during renovation or demolition to prevent exposure. Awareness and proper handling are crucial for maintaining a safe environment and safeguarding public health.
