Wisconsin offering free asbestos removal education on April 7
The Wisconsin Dept of Health Services is offering free educational sessions on safe handling and removal procedures for asbestos and other hazardous materials on April 7th from 1 to 5 pm at Northcentral Technical College. In these sessions, health department officials will share information on the regulations governing asbestos removal.
Asbestos is still found in the flooring, caulks, insulation, ceilings and siding of many structures, and failing to use proper procedures during repairs, renovations or demolition can use release of dangerous asbestos fibers. Exposure to these fibers can cause malignant mesothelioma and other serious illnesses.
