What is Asbestos?
As per the guidelines of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), asbestos is widely acknowledged as a health risk. Its utilization is now subject to strict regulations enforced by both OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and we can assist you in ensuring compliance with these asbestos regulations.
The health risks associated with asbestos fibers may not be easily visible to the naked eye. Inhaling asbestos fibers, for instance, can lead to the formation of scar-like tissue in the lungs, known as asbestosis. Asbestosis can cause a decline in lung function, often progressing to disability or, in severe cases, death.
To mitigate the risks of illness, disability, or fatality due to asbestos exposure, the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Compliance Monitoring (NESHAP) has established protocols for addressing existing structures constructed with asbestos components.
