OSHA Investigating Demolition in Central Point, OR for Possible Asbestos Exposure

According to a March 2009 report in the Oregon Mail Tribune, officials for the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are currently investigating a possible asbestos violation at a Central Point, OR demolition site.

OSHA received a report from a city worker that workers were exposed to asbestos while demolishing a 100-year old vacant residential property. An OSHA spokesperson confirmed that the matter was currently under investigation.

The OSHA report is expected to be released during March 2009.

Exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.
