teenage volunteers exposed at michigan central station
building owner detroit international bridge company representative claims "didn't know" asbestos was in this decades old abandoned eyesore (despite having asbestos company visually survey it months prior), but had teenage volunteers and untrained dibc employees cleanup tons of contaminated debris anyway. michigan epa and osha inspectors subsequently found evidence of asbestos and other toxic materials at the site. here's a link to an online osha citation summary page for this incident:

interesting, especially since the debris was being called "DIRT" by individuals involved at the cleanup event. exactly how does "dirt" wind up on tile floors in the middle of the building anyway? what do you think that deteriorated fibrous stuff is being shoveled from around old pipes and ducts?
by the way, where is all the safety gear for these volunteer workers? tennis shoes? no safety glasses or goggles (not worn)? no protective coveralls? no hard hats? no dust controls? no filtered respirators? LOOK AT THAT POOR GUY CHOKING IN THE BACKGROUND!
terribly sad to think that volunteers' health (& dibc employees) were put at such risk for the rest of their lives, and that penalties amount to a few thousand dollars. literally chump change to a greedy billionaire and thoughtless corporation. mohyi and stamper thought this would be a great pr stunt?
