The department said it began an investigation in November after observing company workers not wearing protective gear as they worked near piles of debris that contained asbestos.

A Chicago company failed to take proper precautions with asbestos during the company’s demolition work at a Waukegan hospital, the U.S. Department of Labor said Wednesday.

The company knowingly exposed its workers to asbestos during its demolition work at Lakes Behavioral Health hospital, the labor department said. “K.L.F. Enterprises’ decision not to stop work immediately or ensure appropriate control measures were followed when asbestos was clearly visible exposed these employees to a highly carcinogenic material with the potential for permanent, negative long-term health outcomes,” Chicago North OSHA Area Director Sukhvir Kaur said.
