Asbestos Abatement Training for Contractors and Supervisors

Over time, with increasing documentation of adverse health effects, many studies and epidemiologic investigations have demonstrated that inhalation of asbestos fibers may lead to increased risk of developing one or more diseases. Therefore, the United States Environmental Protection Agency developed this manual as a guide for those who are about to undertake an asbestos abatement project. Prepared by professionals in the field of asbestos abatement and control, this book was subjected to review throughout its preparation by government, academic, and industry experts.
