It's also possible that you might run into asbestos on your own job unexpectedly. You or a crew member may want to add a personal story about asbestos. Next, discuss with the crew where there may be a danger of asbestos exposure at this particular job site. Explain what testing has been done, and what safety precautions apply. Use the information following each question to add points that no one mentions.
Asbestos fibers are very small.
If you inhale them, they go deep into your lungs. They stay there and can cause disease from 10 to 40 years later. Asbestos can cause a lung disease called asbestosis, and a rare type of cancer called mesothelioma. Only people who are exposed to asbestos get these diseases. Asbestos also increases your risk of lung cancer and other types of cancer.
