OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.1101, "Occupational Exposure to Asbestos" requires that all employees who might come into contact with materials that might contain asbestos, be given appropriate safety training for this possibility.
For decades materials commonly used in building construction, including tiles, flooring, and insulation, contained asbestos. This means virtually every custodial, janitorial, or maintenance worker in the country is covered by the above regulation.
Asbestos lung cancer, asbestos lawyers and asbestos lawsuits are all still going strong - The lawsuits are fueled by the Trade Union Asbestos compensation victory. Asbestos kills more than 100,000 people every year and inflicts long term suffering on millions more worldwide.
