For years asbestos has been considered an extremely versatile and low-cost material, with various industrial applications, thanks to its insulating and sound-absorbing characteristics. In fact, asbestos has been widely used in the past in industry and construction: for the insulation of buildings, roofs, ships, ferries, trains. It is useful to highlight that in all work activities that may involve exposure to asbestos, workers must always use personal protective equipment (PPE) of the respiratory tract with an adequate protection factor. But let’s go step by step and analyse in detail the various points that will lead us, to have a greater awareness related to risk factors, prevention activities and the correct mode of action in working contexts in which there is the presence of asbestos.
