Older buildings and certain materials still in use may contain asbestos that can become hazardous when disturbed during maintenance, repair, or minor renovation. These mineral fibers are not visible and can be inhaled without immediate warning, often during routine tasks. Because the effects of asbestos exposure can take decades to develop, it is possible to go through an entire career without realizing the health impact. If that illness appears later in life, it will affect enjoyment of retirement and the time that should be spent with family and friends.

Bonneville Safety’s Asbestos Awareness training provides the knowledge needed to recognize these risks and work safely around them.
