Asbestos VERBAL COMMUNICATION TO CHAMBERS WORKS EMPLOYEES (On initial sslgnment or at annual refresher training program) Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause severe scarring of the lungs (asbestosis) and also lung cancer. Cigarette smoking greatly in creases the incidence of cancer from asbestos exposure. Although asbestos has not been used for insulation on Chambers Works since 1972 it may be present in lagging which was installed prior to that date. Presently used construction materials which contain asbestos in a bound form which can be released during machining, include "Uaveg" piping and "Translte" siding. It is important to follow Standard Operating Procedures when handling asbestos-containing materials to minimise the potential for exposure. R. 0.
