A booklet from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), DHEW (NIOSH) Publication No. 77-188, dated August 1977, written to make insulation installers aware of the hazards of their work. It opens by saying that in any one year "one insulation worker out of five will be injured or be sick because of job exposure," and that installers have suffered high death rates from lung diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer and silicosis. Its list of materials they commonly handle includes "Asbestos fibers (cement, sprays, etc.)" alongside fiber glass, slag and rock wool and vermiculite.
