State regulators have identified willful workplace safety violations that exposed employees at an overnight shelter for women to hazardous asbestos during construction work over a nearly one-year period, the New Mexico Environment Department announced Friday.
The agency’s occupational heath and safety bureau issued fines totaling about $1.1 million against the city of Albuquerque and a contractor related to asbestos exposure at the women’s shelter, located within a campus of medical facilities in the southeastern part of the city.
