The Asbestos & Asbestos Products (Wholesale) industry involves the distribution of asbestos and asbestos-containing products to various businesses and industries. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and manufacturing due to its heat-resistant properties. However, it has since been linked to serious health risks, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. As a result, the use of asbestos has been heavily regulated and restricted in many countries. Wholesale companies in this industry typically purchase asbestos and asbestos-containing products from manufacturers and then distribute them to other businesses, such as construction companies, automotive manufacturers, and shipbuilders. These products may include insulation, roofing materials, gaskets, and brake pads. Due to the health risks associated with asbestos, companies in this industry must adhere to strict safety regulations and guidelines. This may involve providing training to employees on how to handle and dispose of asbestos safely, as well as implementing measures to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air.
