Asbestos Exposure Clause Samples
The Asbestos Exposure clause defines the responsibilities and limitations regarding the presence or handling of asbestos-containing materials within a property or during a project. Typically, this clause outlines procedures for identifying asbestos, requirements for notification if asbestos is discovered, and the allocation of responsibility for remediation or abatement. For example, it may specify that the property owner must disclose known asbestos or that the contractor must halt work and notify relevant parties if asbestos is found. The core function of this clause is to manage health and safety risks associated with asbestos exposure and to clarify liability, thereby protecting all parties from unforeseen hazards and regulatory violations.

Asbestos Exposure. Our office regularly receives inquiries from members who have questions about lung impairment due to asbestos exposure in the past. One of the conditions caused by asbestos exposure is called “asbestosis”. This refers to the scarring of lung tissue caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres. It may result in shortness of breath. Inhalation of fibres may also result in pleural plaques which are localized areas of scarring on the lining surrounding the lungs. The existence of asbestosis or of pleural plaques, by themselves, are not sufficient for the WSIB to pay benefits. There must be evidence of a limitation of lung function that is severe enough for the WSIB to recognize that a permanent impairment exists. However, it is still important to follow any medical treatment or testing that is recommended by your doctor.
