Asbestos violations are costing some companies thousands of dollars. In one case, the court sentenced a man to jail time for his role in exposing workers to the dangerous mineral. Authorities can impose big fines and harsh penalties on those who break federal and state asbestos laws.
National asbestos legislation, as well as state rules, are in place to protect workers and the public. Handling of legacy asbestos products, asbestos removal and disposal are all regulated.
Contact with asbestos and inhaling the mineral’s fibers is the primary cause of mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer. Exposure can also cause a number of other asbestos-related diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis and ovarian cancer.
