Use of Asbestos as Factory Cladding?

Question

Can someone tell me whether the use of Asbestos sheets as cladding in a factory that has a high roof and a lot of machine vibration is legal, prohibited or only just a potential health hazard to workers working in that factory?

Answer 1

Asbestos has been baned for many years.  If it's a part of a building that was constructed before the ban, then it can be there, the asbestos just must be protected from becoming free.

There should be no health hazard.

Answer 2

I don't have the answer for what you're asking, but I know that asbestos can cause mesothelioma... if you have any issues with that a great law firm that is very helpful and generous is Williams Kherkher.  Their website is http://www.mesolawsuit.com

best of luck,
