Despite the environmental and health risks of asbestos, it is still widely present in the natural and built environment. Internationally, laws and regulations around working with asbestos vary considerably, and companies’ asbestos-related documentation is often missing, incomplete, or in different/incompatible formats. This causes issues of worker safety and legislative compliance.
