Asbestos exposure can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. The risk of exposure is highest for those who work in industries where asbestos was commonly used, such as construction and manufacturing.

However, even if you don't work in these industries, you may still be at risk if you live or work in a building that contains asbestos. Asbestos can become airborne when materials containing asbestos are disturbed, such as during renovation or demolition work.

That's why it's important to have your property tested for asbestos. By identifying any materials that may contain asbestos, you can take steps to minimize the risk of exposure and keep yourself and others safe.
