Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry for its insulating and fire-resistant properties. However, it was later found that asbestos exposure could cause severe health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are still present in many buildings erected before 2000, especially those built between the 1950s and 1980s. That's why it's essential to identify and manage asbestos in your property to protect yourself, your family, and your employees from asbestos-related diseases.
