What is Asbestos And Why Does It Pose A Health Risk?
Asbestos was used regularly in the US for over 100 years to create thousands of products. It is an effective insulator and fire-resistant material, making it useful in construction materials. Floor tiles, ceiling tiles, popcorn ceiling, and sheetrock are just a few of the most common materials often made with asbestos.
Eventually, scientists discovered that asbestos presents a serious, and sometimes life-threatening, health risk. Asbestos fibers are about 80 times smaller than a human hair, making them easy to inhale. If you breathe in this substance, your body is not able to expel it. So it remains in your lungs and can lead to asbestosis, lung cancer, and other health complications.
In 1978, Texas legislation was passed that banned asbestos from being used in commercial construction.
ERI does in-depth asbestos inspections and asbestos testing in Fort Worth and surrounding areas to keep your building up to code and keep your personnel safe.

When You Need To Schedule An Asbestos Inspection
Some companies schedule an asbestos inspection to stay compliant with Texas law. Others schedule an inspection to ensure their employees and workers are safe from the harmful material. Here are three reasons your business might need to schedule an inspection:
Your building was constructed before 1980
Asbestos became illegal for commercial use in 1978. So facilities constructed before that almost always have asbestos present in at least some of the building materials. If your facility was built before 1978, please contact ERI today.
You need to get a building permit
In Texas, all commercial buildings must be inspected for asbestos before you can acquire a building permit. Even if your building is new and was constructed after 1978, it has to be inspected.
You want to prioritize the safety of your building occupants
Asbestos is dangerous and has been used in many different types of materials used in commercial construction. Take care of your personnel by scheduling an asbestos inspection in Fort Worth today.
