The health effects of asbestos exposure.Miranda Shop
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in construction from the 1940s to 1980s due to its durability, fire resistance, and insulating properties. It can be found in many older homes and buildings. When asbestos fibers become airborne and are inhaled, they can cause serious health issues like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. The risk of disease depends on the type and amount of asbestos fibers inhaled and can take 10-50 years to develop. While tightly bound asbestos may pose little risk, any asbestos should be handled carefully and exposure minimized to reduce health risks.

Asbestos Awareness - Things You Should Know to Stay SafeA
This document provides information about asbestos, including what it is, its health risks, and safety measures. Asbestos refers to naturally occurring minerals composed of soft fibers that are highly resistant to heat, corrosion, and electricity. While useful as an insulator, inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers can cause serious health issues like asbestosis, mesothelioma, or lung cancer decades later. The document outlines who is most at risk of exposure, where asbestos is commonly found in buildings, and precautions like proper training and protective equipment to safely handle asbestos and minimize exposure.
Asbestos Awareness: 7 Asbestos Facts You Need to KnowChowdhury Nishat
Asbestos is one of the most dangerous natural materials, causing over 100,000 deaths worldwide annually. It was commonly used in construction materials until its severe health risks were discovered. Long-term or high-level exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to life-threatening illnesses like asbestosis, mesothelioma, and different types of cancer in the lungs or other organs. While now banned in most countries, asbestos remains in many older buildings and poses risks if disturbed. Proper training and safety precautions are necessary for any work with asbestos-containing materials.
This document provides an overview of asbestos, its health hazards, and where it can be found. Asbestos was widely used in construction materials due to its desirable properties but is now known to cause serious health issues like mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis. It becomes hazardous when fibers are released into the air and inhaled. To avoid exposure, people should be aware of where asbestos is likely present in buildings and not disturb any asbestos-containing materials.
This document provides information about asbestos, including:
1. Asbestos is a mineral formed over thousands of years when hydrothermal fluids passed through rock, and it comes in different types like chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite.
2. Asbestos was widely used in the 20th century for its properties like strength and heat resistance, and was found in materials like insulation and roofing.
3. Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to diseases like asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer, which can be fatal. Proper handling and containment of asbestos materials is important to avoid exposure.
The document provides guidance on how to safely renovate or demolish structures that may contain asbestos. It outlines that asbestos was commonly used in construction until the 1980s and can be found in roofing, flooring, insulation and other building materials.

be discovered / disturbed
3. 3
ASBESTOS is a Naturally occurring material
3 main types:
◦ Chrysotile –
◦ Amosite – Brown
◦ Crocidolite – Blue
◦ You can’t identify the different types just from colour, as many
Asbestos fibres are embedded in other substances
2 types of structure
◦ Serpentine – is like a coarse cotton wool, or fluffy
fibreglass, water loving and most commonly used.
◦ Amphiboles – Brown and Blue long thin fibres, water hating
WhiteWhite
WhiteWhite
4. 4
Properties:
◦ Versatile
◦ Hardwearing
◦ High tensile strength
◦ Very Good chemical, electrical and heat resistance
◦ Resistant to acids
◦ Virtually indestructible
The general use of asbestos is now banned.
◦ Blue and Brown asbestos banned in 1985
◦ White was banned in 1999
5. 5
The Ancient Greeks used asbestos for wicks in lamps
(they never burnt away) – the name means
inextinguishable
The Greeks did note a ‘sickness in the lungs’ of slaves
who wove asbestos into cloth
The Romans used asbestos cloth napkins, which were
cleaned by throwing them into the fire.
‘PPE you say…
Well there’s a thong
or a loin cloth, which
one do you want?’
6. 6
Deposits of asbestos are found throughout the world
Russia (largest producer), Canada, South Africa, China
still mine it!
Asbestos is extracted by open cast mining. It is crushed,
processed and refined into a wool like fibrous mass
During the 1950s – 1980s, hundreds of building products
contained asbestos
Asbestos cement products were still in use until 1999
Use of asbestos products peaked in the Sixties and early
Seventies
7. 7
All types of asbestos are classed as carcinogens.
◦ There is no guaranteed safe exposure limit
Asbestos related diseases can take 15 – 60 years to
develop following exposure to fibres
The risk of adverse effects is much higher for smokers
People with Asthma /genetic dispositions towards weaker lung
conditions could be affected by much lower levels of fibres.
Occupational Asthma/ other conditions - your lungs are made
permanently ultra sensitive to any dust/ fibres from past repeated
exposure.
Asbestos fibres break down splitting lengthways, creating far thinner fibres
each time they split
8. 8
Inhalation of fibres causes the most problems
◦ The sharp micro fibres become lodged in lung tissue, can’t be
removed, and these scar the lung tissue.
If swallowed asbestos can cause cancer in the bowels
◦ A damaged Old Asbestos water tank, a water shortage - who gets the
last cup of water?!
Asbestos fibres cannot be absorbed through the skin, by contact,
settlement of dust or by rubbing off dust with your hands
A fall on a shard of Asbestos could see fibres piercing the skin into an
injury area
Asbestos fibres can irritate the eyes, could become lodged in the soft
tissue of your tear ducts, etc… (wear glasses)
9. 9
ASBESTOS and SMOKERS
Normal lung function:
The hairs (cilia) in the throat and Trachea lift food, dust,
and phlegm up from the lungs 24/7 for us.
It takes 24 hours for the hairs to move a piece of food
debris back up to the throat, for us to cough it out or
swallow it.
Our immune system uses white blood cells to seek out an
destroy the Asbestos fibres, swallowing them and taking
them away from irritated areas of our lungs.
10. 10
The effects of smoking:
Smoking paralyses the tiny hairs in the throat and down
into the lung structure, eventually smoke kills these
hairs.
Smokers no longer have an automatic back up system to
remove all the rubbish from building up in their lungs
Smokers lungs become desensitise to smoke &
particles, the immune system doesn’t send as many
white blood cells to clean up the mess
11. 11
Pathway of Asbestos fibres through the body

Outer pleural membrane
Inner pleural membrane
Lung

Rib
Path of Asbestos fibres
12. 12
Main diseases are:
Asbestosis Lung cancer
Mesothelioma Pleural Plaques
Asbestosis
◦ Scarring of lung tissues, caused by fibres reaching the alveoli
◦ This results in permanent scarring, reduced lung capacity and
increased risk of lung cancer
◦ Symptoms include extreme shortness of breath
◦ Lung function lost, is never recovered
◦ Not always fatal but extremely debilitating
13. 13
Lung Cancer
◦ Cancerous tumours in lung tissue
◦ Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing (up blood)
◦ Nearly always fatal -28% survival rate in the 1st
year!
Mesothelioma
◦ Cancerous cells form on the membranes covering the internal
organs. Most commonly on the pleura covering lungs, then
spreading everywhere.
◦ Cancerous growth inhibits normal lung tissue function
◦ Symptoms: shortness of breath, cough, pain in chest
◦ Rapid, Very aggressive mutation and growth of cancer
◦ Always fatal – life expectancy 6 – 24 months from
diagnosis
14. 14
Pleural Plaques
◦ Fibres lodged in the lung tissue push through and scratch the inside of
the pleural membrane.
◦ This causes inflammation and areas of scarring
◦ Restricts breathing through sharp stabbing pains on inhaling
◦ Non fatal, - but causes a lot of pain and discomfort
◦ Claiming any compensation for this is very hard
Less common disease linked with asbestos exposure include:
◦ Cancer of larynx
◦ Asbestos warts
◦ Pleural thickening
15. 15
Natural exposure
◦ The Asbestos minerals are created by the intense heat and
pressure of volcanic / tectonic activity.
◦ Volcanoes, Earth quakes, Landslides and Erosion have released
asbestos fibres into the atmosphere since man has been around.
◦ In general our body’s are able to cope with the natural level of
exposure from nature, we have evolved with this.
16. 16
Asbestos is a naturally occurring substance
Everyone is exposed to very small numbers of fibres all the time.
Normal Background levels are 0.000001 – 0.0001 fibres/ml.
That means 1 asbestos fibre or less in every 10 Litres of air
One fibre is smaller than a 50th
of the thickness an eyelash
Fibres are so small and so light, that they can remain suspended and
free floating in the air for 10 hours or more
Opening a window after disturbing asbestos,
The fibres will be continually agitated
to remain in the air.
17. 17
Asbestos Levels
Natural levels
This equates to approximately one asbestos
fibre or less in every 10 Litres of air
The equivalent of less than one fibre in a bucket!
Friable: very easy to become and stay airborne
Un-natural levels
The Control limit for asbestos exposure is 0.1
asbestos fibres per cubic centimetre of air (0.1
f/cm3). Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
The equivalent of 1000 asbestos fibres in a bucket…
18. 18
Unnatural, avoidable
exposure People can only be exposed to asbestos if:
◦ The Asbestos material is disturbed or damaged
◦ Asbestos fibres are made airborne
◦ You breathe in the Asbestos fibres
◦ You ingest the Asbestos fibres
YOUR risk of ill health or death is determined by:
◦ The Concentration of fibres in the air
◦ The Duration of an exposure
◦ The Number of exposures you have
◦ The Level of respiratory protection you wear
19. 19
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA)
◦ Employers’ duties:
• Have a written Health and Safety policy

Employees’ Duties:
Take reasonable care for the health and safety of
themselves and others who may be affected by their
actions or omissions.
Co-operate with employer to enable them to comply with
their statutory requirements
Do not misuse anything provided under a statutory
requirement in the interests of health and safety at work

Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations
1999
◦ Employers must:
• Assess Hazards and Risks to employees and others affected by
their working
• Record the findings
• Ensure employees are told of the risks involved in their work and the
precautions required to control the risks
• Review assessments regularly to ensure they remain relevant
◦ Employees must:
• Follow training, & instructions, use precautions & PPE protective
equipment provided.
22. 22
Brings together 3 previous sets of legislation:
Prohibition and the Control of asbestos at work and licensed asbestos
Working
Bans the use of White, Brown and Blue asbestos + the second hand
use of asbestos products (e.g. asbestos cement sheets)
To increase employer and employee awareness to the presence of
asbestos + the risks from work with asbestos
Requires duty holders to manage asbestos properly in non domestic
properties:
◦ Asbestos management plan
◦ Asbestos register for building
23. 23
Regulation 10 requires employers to provide:
Information, instruction and training to all employees likely to be
exposed to asbestos, Not just asbestos removal workers
3 levels of training:
Asbestos awareness – the course you are undertaking now
Non licensed asbestos removal
Licensed asbestos removal
Asbestos Awareness training is listed in the HSE Approved Code of
Practice.
24. 24
Introduces stringent standards of worker protection:
Where work is carried out which may disturb asbestos employers are
required to prevent exposure and spread of asbestos
Worker exposure must not exceed the Control Limit of 0.1 fibres per
cm3
RPE must be worn, but the work must still be arranged to prevent
the release of fibres.
See Approved Codes of Practice and HSE Guidance:
◦ Tell us how to put the law into practice
◦ Management of asbestos in non domestic premises – L127 *
◦ Work with materials containing asbestos – L143 *
◦ Asbestos Essentials – HSG210 *

38. 38
Personal Protective Equipment
◦ Asbestos removal operatives wear:
• Disposable overalls (Type 5 – Particle tight)
• Boots without laces, or boot covers
• Respiratory Protection
3 types of Respiratory Protective Equipment
• Disposable respirators – with FFP3 filter
• Half Face Masks
• Full Face Masks
39. 39
PPE and RPE
Sealed Fitting of RPE to face
Face masks need to fit snug to skin to seal
• Facial hair impacts the seal (Vaseline)
• Significant Facial scars impact the seal
• Replace old masks/ Disposable masks regularly
• Replace Damaged masks
• Replace filters regularly
• Any old mask, tea cloth, or hanky will not do!
41. 41
Major refurbishment works must not start without a type 3
(fully intrusive) survey to determine the presence of asbestos
Any asbestos in the work area should be removed/ protected
or avoid contact/ impacting
Premises should have Asbestos Registers – look at them or ask the
foreman where the asbestos is before starting work
If you are working somewhere where asbestos may be
discovered e.g. - pulling down ceilings, working in loft spaces,
under floors or demolishing walls – Hidden asbestos
Wear disposable overalls and a FFP3 mask and eye
protection as a precaution.

If Your work places you near Asbestos:
Wear appropriate PPE
Do a Risk Assessment, decide the best way forward
Take pictures before you do anything
Consider other precautions/ barriers/ shielding
If you can do your work without impacting the
asbestos, keep aware for possible hidden risks
Double bag any waste/ old materials, e.g. old boilers
Take pictures of the job when you are finished
Always Mail/ send the pictures to your manager
Working near known Asbestos
44. 44
Aids to help combat Asbestos exposure
Wet down suspected items,
an atomiser spray will pull all forms of fibre to the ground with the water vapour
PVA glue will seal all forms of fibre/dust under the surface of the glue.
(Don’t dry brush dust off, wet down with spray and paint glue over this)
Paint/ Varnish, will seal all forms of fibre/dust under the surface of the
Paint/ varnish. (don’t dry brush, apply liberally over)
45. 45
Myths
Myth 1: Cross head screws used to secure an item, means that there is
little likelihood of Asbestos being present.
Truth 1: There is no way of knowing if Asbestos is present by the type of
screw head used. Who knows if these were replaced and the Asbestos left
in place too?
Myth 2: If you break it up out in the open air you are safer.
Truth 2: It is not safe, wind direction changes, and you would have just
created secondary exposure to others down wind of you!
Myth 3: If I wet down my clothes and wash them, the clothes
will be fine to use again. (moderate to large exposure)
Truth 3: Not True, the asbestos fibres are so fine, the could nestle in the
weave of your clothing and resurface when dry.
Myth 4:
Truth 4:
46. 46
If you discover or disturb asbestos
◦ STOP work immediately
◦ Prevent access to the area
◦ Report your manager/ supervisor.
◦ Minimise spread of contamination to other areas
◦ Keep exposures as low as you can
◦ Clean up of contamination – specialist works
◦ Change and Double Bag up any clothes/ overalls where
Asbestos has been released
◦ READ HSE Asbestos Essentials Sheet EM1 gives directions
47. 47
Secondary exposure
Do your kids cuddle you, as you come in from work?
Do you go the café for food during the day?
Do you slap off the dust to your clothes /overalls out side
the customers house?
Do you dump the work clothes by the washing machine
to be washed?
Do you walk through the customers house as you are?
48. 48
Working around known
ASBESTOS Never undertake work which will impact stable ASBESTOS
If you are unable to work without coming into contact with ASBESTOS,
PPE + redo your Risk Assessment first!
If you have a Risk of Breaking, Brushing, Scratching, Crushing, Drilling
ASBESTOS, then you should Reconsider your PPE requirements
Then decide if it is possible to protect/ cover/ seal the ASBESTOS product
before ANY works begins
If it is not possible for you to undertake your work without Cutting/
Drilling/ Breaking/ Scraping the ASBESTOS – STOP and consult your line
manager.
Never impact stable ASBESTOS

49. 49
Procedure if exposed to
Asbestos Stop Work
Don’t attempt to sweep/ clean the area
Seal off the Area
Remove overalls/ clothing/ boots
Double Bag and Seal all clothing+ boots from others
Report it immediately to your manager
Change into clean overalls
Wait for Manager to attend site/ or give advice
Report your exposure to your GP (to record event)
Clean up specialist to site/ removal team
4 stage Testing performed at site for all clear
RIDDOR reporting process
Revisit to S&B Risk assessments/ training and reporting
50. 50
HEALTH SURVIELLANCE
Your GP will record the event details
For a major exposure:
X-ray Scans for lungs and airway, - long term
Lung capacity test (Spirometry) – short term
52. 52
Other substances irritating to airways
MDF is a wood composite material, primarily
softwood, bonded with a synthetic resin, which
is usually formaldehyde-based.
Although it has been commercially available
since the 1960s, its use has become
significant only in the last 2 decades.
MDF is currently being reviewed for it Carcinogenic
cancer producing properties.
The wood content or the resins/ bonding agents have a
potential to cause work induced hyper sensitivity of the
airways, issues such as Emphysema and Asthma.
53. 53
Cement and Plaster dust
Cement and plaster are widely used in construction.
Anyone who uses cement (or anything containing
cement, such as mortar, plaster and concrete) or is
responsible for managing its use should be aware that it presents a
hazard to health.
This can cause Silicosis, fluid on the lungs, Pneumonia and Cancer.
High levels of dust can be produced when cement /plaster
is handled, for example when emptying or disposing of bags.
In the short term, exposure to high levels of cement dust
irritates the nose and throat.
