Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry between the 1950s and 1980s. Due to its heat-resistant properties and durability, asbestos was commonly used in the manufacture of insulation, roofing materials, and throughout the building trade. However, it has since been discovered that exposure to asbestos fibers can cause a range of respiratory diseases, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. It is therefore essential that any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are identified and safely removed.
