If you are tasked with working in an area where asbestos is known to be found - your employer has a number of obligations towards you under US law. These obligations will be explained in detail below, however the overall idea is that you, as an employee, should be protected from the unwanted and harmful side effects of asbestos at all times in your work environment.
Ever since the discovery of the dangerous nature of asbestos back in the 1920's, US employers have regularly been in trouble for negligence shown to their employees. In total, around 5,000 court cases have been filed and won as a result of direct asbestos exposure - with a further 15,000 cases being settled outside of the court room (probably more, but statistics show 15,000).
