	Safety and Health Topics
	Asbestos

It's not uncommon to find Asbestos used in homes during a home Inspection. As a certified home inspector it is our responsibility to point out what substances commonly have asbestos in them and what are some of the health and safety concerns associated with those materials.

An estimated 1.3 million employees in construction and general industry face significant asbestos exposure on the job. Heaviest exposures occur in the construction industry, particularly during the removal of asbestos during renovation or demolition. Employees are also likely to be exposed during the manufacture of asbestos products (such as textiles, friction products, insulation, and other building materials) and during automotive brake and clutch repair work.

Asbestos is well recognized as a health hazard and is highly regulated. OSHA and EPA asbestos rules are intertwined.
