ConstructionSafety Management4HighWorker$ implied
A first-year worker on a long-term asbestos remediation project in an old building has no way to safely decontaminate and wash work clothes without risking bringing asbestos fibers home to his family.
No on-site or affordable off-site laundering service for asbestos-contaminated work clothes; the worker has to drive home in contaminated clothes and wash them with regular laundry, risking exposure.
