摘要

Asbestos lawsuits are again on the rise. The SH&E community can no longer assume asbestos is on the back burner. While many recognize that asbestos is present in their facilities and address issues as they arise, others operate under a false sense of security by relying on previous asbestos inspections that may not pass the inspection flaw test. Newer buildings may also contain asbestos without anyone's knowledge. Due diligence requirements to identify asbestos can certainly raise the bar for most SH&E professionals―with or without existing asbestos inspections. Asbestos is naturally occurring and can be found in background levels throughout the world. Contamination can occur naturally or by disturbance of asbestos-containing materials. SH&E professionals should proceed cautiously when asbestos contamination becomes a concern. Many of the current analyti- cal methods are inadequate and controversial, particularly those involving product and surface dust asbestos contamination. Fortunately, EPA has developed excellent guidance for testing, cleaning and clearing asbestos-contaminated buildings. Those who believe asbestos is no longer being produced are ignoring the facts. Some 13,100 metric tons of asbestos were imported into the U.S. in 2001, and worldwide mining of asbestos was estimated at 2,050,000 metric tons in 2001(Buckingham and Yates 3). Asbestos is not just hanging around; it's getting a second wind.
