Asbestos Abatement Workers Beware

Do you or a loved one work in asbestos abatement? If so, you should be very aware of your employer’s business practices. All too often, firms are attracted to asbestos abatement for the big contracts, but shy away from adhering to state laws and regulations designed to protect their employees from the dangerous of aerosolized asbestos.

Spenser Abatement Services Inc. in Seattle, Washington, is the latest in a nationwide trend of violators. In the case against Spenser Abatement Services Inc., regulators from the state Department of Labor & Industries have assessed more than $400,000 in fines for willful and serious work safety violations. The Department contends that Spenser Abatement Services Inc. willfully disregarded state safety regulations and exposed workers to dangerous levels of asbestos.
