Maintenance workers at risk for asbestos hazard in buildings and equipment

The people most heavily exposed to asbestos in the United States are those in buildings and construction trades.

This population includes an estimated 1.3 million construction workers, as well as workers in building and equipment maintenance.

Because most asbestos was used in construction, and two-thirds of asbestos produced is still used in this trade, risk to these workers can be considerable if the hazard is not recognized and OSHA standards are not enforced.
