The following key points should be remembered: 1.Inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. These health effects were noted primarily in workers exposed routinely to very high levels of asbestos on their jobs. 2.The health effects from exposure to low-level amounts of asbestos fibers are not as well understood. Therefore, custodial/maintenance workers should exercise caution when working around ACM and try to minimize exposures. 3.Three... naturally occurring asbestos minerals, chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite, are commonly used in building products. 4.Asbestos became a popular commercial product because of its strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal insulation properties. 5.ACM is regulated by EPA, OSHA, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and individual state and local agencies. 6.Friable ACM can be found in about 700,000 public and commercial buildings. Many areas where asbestos is found are not accessible to the general public. 7.Some common uses of asbestos included pipe/boiler insulation, spray-applied fireproofing, floor and ceiling tile, and cement pipe/sheeting. 8.Positive identification of asbestos requires laboratory analysis. Information on labels or visual examination is not sufficient. 9.Intact, undisturbed materials generally do not pose a health risk. Asbestos may become hazardous when damaged, disturbed, or deteriorated over time and release fibers into the air. 10.If you smoke and work around asbestos your risks for developing asbestos related disease dramatically increase. 11.Report all releases and damaged ACM to supervision. Do not attempt to clean up asbestos spills. 12.Contractors are required to follow strict OSHA and EPA regulations when removing asbestos. Construction debris may be present after the contractor has left. This material will be free of asbestos. 13.Always consult the Asbestos Management Plan to determine where ACM is located in your work area.
