Why is it important to handle and recycle asbestos properly?
The Illegitimate handling of asbestos-containing materials puts your workers and the general public at risk of developing serious asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma cancer, lung cancer and asbestosis.
Unfortunately the risk of developing one of these diseases increases with every exposure to asbestos. Moreover, mesothelioma specialists haven’t found a cure for asbestos-related diseases prompting strict regulations on the handling and disposing of asbestos-containing materials becoming law.
These regulations aim to prevent workers and the general public from exposure to asbestos. Large fines and serious penalties are in place for those who violate these asbestos laws, making professional asbestos waste removal vital.
