1. What are the OSHA rules for asbestos?
OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.1001 and 29 CFR 1926.1101 set strict asbestos exposure limits. These rules need worker training, protective gear, and air monitoring to prevent any risks posed to health. Employers need to follow these regulations and ensure safety and compliance.

2. Which type of respirator should never be used when asbestos is present?
Do not use a single-strap dust mask or basic face mask around asbestos. These do not seal properly or filter asbestos fibers. This puts workers at risk. OSHA recommends NIOSH-approved HEPA respirators, such as full-face or half-face models, for proper protection.

3. What percentage of asbestos workers feel sick?
About 20% of long-term workers develop illnesses such as lung cancer and asbestosis. The risks increase with prolonged exposure, and symptoms often take a long time to appear. Frequent contact raises health risks over time.
