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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the dangers of asbestos exposure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Asbestos fibers enter the body when a person inhales\u00a0or ingests airborne particles that become embedded in the tissues of the respiratory or digestive systems. Exposure\u00a0to asbestos can cause disabling or fatal diseases such as asbestosis, an emphysema-like condition; lung cancer; mesothelioma, a cancerous tumor that spreads rapidly in the cells of membranes covering the lungs and body organs; and gastrointestinal cancer. The symptoms of these diseases generally do not appear for 20 or more years after initial exposure.<\/p>\n<p>What construction activities does this booklet cover?<\/p>\n<p>The asbestos standard for the construction industry (29 CFR Part 1926.1101, see www.osha.gov) regulates asbestos exposure for the following activities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Demolishing or salvaging structures where asbestos is present.<\/li>\n<li>Removing or encapsulating asbestos-containing material (ACM).<\/li>\n<li>Constructing, altering, repairing, maintaining, or renovating asbestos-containing structures or substrates.<\/li>\n<li>Installing asbestos-containing products.<\/li>\n<li>Cleaning up asbestos spills\/emergencies.<\/li>\n<li>Transporting, disposing, storing, containing, and housekeeping involving asbestos or asbestos-containing products on a construction site.<br \/>\nNote: The standard does not apply to asbestos-containing asphalt roof coatings, cements, and mastics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is asbestos?
