While asbestos is often linked to industrial jobs, it’s also a hidden danger for those in agriculture. Why are farm workers at risk? Old Farm Buildings: Many farm structures built before the 1990s contain asbestos in materials like roofing, insulation, and flooring. Farm Equipment: Tractors and other machinery used for decades might have contained asbestos in brakes, gaskets, and clutches. Contaminated Vermiculite: Vermiculite used for soil amendments and other agricultural purposes can be tainted with asbestos. Asbestos in Soil: Disturbing soil on farms might stir up asbestos fibres, especially in areas previously contaminated.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have unveiled a groundbreaking method for detecting asbestos that could transform how we manage this hazardous material. For decades, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) has been the gold standard for asbestos testing. But now, NIST scientists Jason Holm and Elisabeth Mansfield have shown that Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) can provide results just as accurate as TEM—at a fraction of the cost. Why Does This Matter? Lower Costs: SEM is more affordable than TEM, making it easier for labs and contractors to perform asbestos testing. Increased Convenience: SEM equipment is more portable and easier to use, which means it can be used in the field rather than only in specialised labs. Faster Results: SEM offers quicker testing and analysis, which can speed up the asbestos remediation process.

The fight against asbestos isn’t over yet. In March 2024, the EPA achieved a major milestone by enacting a comprehensive ban on asbestos in the US. This historic move is a significant victory for public health and safety. But there’s more to the story. Despite the ban, asbestos still poses serious risks in existing buildings and facilities. Many structures built before the ban still contain asbestos, and improper handling or accidental disturbance can lead to dangerous exposure.

Two companies have been fined for failing to protect a 16-year-old worker from hazardous asbestos exposure during a building project. On June 7, 2021, a young worker for P Turnbull Joinery and Building Services Ltd was exposed to asbestos while breaking up cement sheets on a refurbishment job for Alt Berg Holding Limited in Richmond, North Yorkshire. Alt Berg Holdings Limited failed to conduct an asbestos survey, missing the presence of asbestos in the roofing materials. P Turnbull Joinery and Building Services Ltd did not properly assess the risks or protect the worker from asbestos exposure.

Did you know that asbestos—a material used extensively in construction post-WWII—still poses significant risks today? What You Need to Know About Asbestos: 🔹 Historical Use: Asbestos was widely used in the UK for its fire-resistant and insulating properties, making it a common feature in buildings constructed before 1999. 🔹 Health Risks: Asbestos fibres can cause serious health issues, including mesothelioma, a deadly cancer affecting the lungs. Even brief exposure can have long-term consequences. 🔹 Legacy Risks: Asbestos is still present in many older buildings. Professionals involved in building safety, such as fire risk assessors and surveyors, must be trained to handle and manage asbestos risks effectively.
