It’s also that relatively few people are affected. That’s approximately one in 100,000 people, twice as many people in the United States were murdered in 2015. It is really easy to know nobody who died from asbestos.

Yeah, but I don’t claim murder risk is overblown and run around badlands like I’m invincible.
Murder risk is negligible though. Especially if you aren’t directly involved in crime.
Murder risk is negligible because we do things about it.
My house has never burned down, therefor firemen, smoke alarms, and extinguishers are a scam. Got it.

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?
