    I’m shocked they never talked about asbestos at all in school
    Its such a serious topic and I think everyone should be aware of the danger as it could save so many lives

      Unfortunately they don’t care about tradesmen. No training whatsoever

      Sorry to hear, also this man is speaking truth. This commonly occurs where work establishments fail to provide awareness and PPE. There's no respect in this industry.
      I noticed you posted yesterday, is there anything new you have come across that's alerting?
