Staying Safe From Asbestos
 Every organization is legally required to provide a safe working environment for its 
employees. This applies to all areas, including exposure to asbestos. Asbestos has 
been identified as a class one chemical-based carcinogen, and as a result, there are 
specific rules and regulations in place to control it. These are related to asbestos 
work, asbestos supply, and use, and licensed asbestos removal from any premise.
Staying Safe From Asbestos
 As per the law, it is the responsibility of an organization to conduct a survey to find all 
the sources of asbestos on its premises. When this is done, management of it is also a 
responsibility. One of the major reasons for such laws is to make reasonable efforts to 
protect workers from overexposure. This is especially true when staff is working, 
fixing, or installing things on the premises.
 These laws were also prompted by the fact that numerous employees are suffering 
from mesothelioma, a fatal form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. An asbestos 
survey can be used to analyze a commercial or residential building and to remove any 
presence of the substance. It can also be done for buildings that will be demolished to 
ensure that the professionals involved are not over-exposed.
Staying Safe From Asbestos
 These surveys will be conducted by agencies that have been accredited by the 
concerned governmental authorities. You must ensure that it is done when there are 
almost no individuals on the premises. These experts will first do a general 
assessment of the space. Following that, they will inspect every rafter, attic, and 
opening that is visible to the eye as well as those that are hidden. They will conduct a 
thorough inspection of the premises and give recommendations on how to counter 
the presence of asbestos.
 In certain cases, asbestos may be totally removed, however, in others, it cannot be 
done since it would endanger the structure itself. In such cases, you will be 
thoroughly briefed on how it may be contained and how you must track its 
deterioration. All of these will contribute to your legal obligation.
