Rationale 1: Older buildings may contain significant amounts of asbestos. Firefighters may be exposed during fire events.
Rationale 2: Auto mechanics may be exposed to the asbestos in vehicle brake linings.
Rationale 3: Asbestos has been removed from modern construction materials. Construction workers in new home construction would not be likely to have high exposure rates.
Rationale 4: There is no reason to believe that teachers are at risk for exposure to asbestos.
Rationale 5: There is no reason to believe that cooks are at high risk for exposure to asbestos.
