Is the risk of asbestos exposure when you work in construction as low as someone that doesn't?

Depends on your job - new construction shouldn't have anything to do with asbestos at all, but if you work on/demolish old buildings you might.

The only reason asbestos is becoming less and less deadly is that we banned it decades ago.

Why are averages relevant when these workers are not getting an average exposure to these materials?
