Tinsworth Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I would imagine some sort of health and safety qualification (same for demolition crews) That's the only one I can think of.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT70 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 big testicles. seriously, why would you? i've seen the effects of mesothelioma first hand. although its regulated and supposedly safe i do know of follow up clean ups where supposedly clean culverts have been found to still have asbestos residue in them, despite a full clearance being given previously. for all the money in the world i wouldnt repeatedly and knowingly expose myself to the risk, and i have worked with and managed contracts which had asbestos removal prior to work.

Wouldn't wish mesothelioma on my worst enemy. the worst thing being that companies are still selling asbestos insulation to 3rd world countries as we speak, disregarding the effect it will have on people in the name of profit. disgusting.
