Asbestos awareness

Asbestos awareness involves understanding the risks of asbestos, a mineral once used in construction for its heat resistance and durability. When materials containing asbestos are disturbed or damaged, tiny fibers can become airborne. If inhaled, these fibers can cause serious health issues such as lung diseases and asbestos-related cancer over time. Safety procedures include identifying asbestos-containing materials, avoiding disturbance, and using protective gear during removal or repair work. Raising awareness helps ensure that everyone involved in building maintenance or renovation recognizes hazards and follows proper protocols to prevent exposure and protect health.
