Asbestos exposure isn’t just a concern in old buildings — it’s a lifelong health risk.
Disturbing materials that contain asbestos can release microscopic fibers that cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. These toolbox talks cover where asbestos is commonly found, health risks of airborne fibers, OSHA Class II and III work guidelines, warning labels, and when to call in certified professionals. Use them to ensure workers know how to recognize potential asbestos hazards and avoid accidental exposure.
Use these toolbox talks to promote asbestos awareness, support hazard recognition, and meet OSHA communication requirements on jobsites with older materials.
