Asbestos are found in many installed products in the construction industry. Because very few asbestos-containing products are being installed today, most worker exposures occur during the removal of asbestos and the renovation and maintenance of buildings and structures containing asbestos. As such, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates asbestos exposure for the construction industry. But what exactly is the current asbestos standard?
