Asbestos Awareness Training

Asbestos exposure can cause a number of deadly diseases and they can take a long time to develop—up to 40 years. Asbestos-related diseases are the #1 cause of work-related death for people who have worked in Ontario construction. If you work in the building trades, then you may be exposed to asbestos.
