Companiesand buildings created post 1980 were subject to different laws and were permitting what wasthen consider minimal amounts of asbestos in their production.Unfortunately, asbestos was still use in the automotive industry, construction companies, anda few other companies during this time. Even older homes and office buildings were buildingusing asbestos.

Highturnover and the potential to leave a job and create a cheaper workforce are all reasons citedfor this, but asbestos removal is appropriate regardless of the turnover rate or employeedissention.Asbestos litigation can occur regardless of whether the employee worked for the company alltheir life or only worked there just long enough to get sick.
