Yes, they're quite common. Used for maintenance and repairs of the old buildings which were built with asbestos siding.

And BTW, asbestos is still legal. It's still used in building materials. There's a law in Florida that it's unlawful to introduce asbestos containing products in a building built with public money, but other than that, have at it.
