Asbestos could be in the house or building you are working on right now. Left alone, it isn’t dangerous. However, once disturbed, tiny asbestos fibres are released which can prove lethal if breathed in, causing lung disease and cancer. If you don’t take the right precautions to protect yourself, you’re risking your life and your livelihood. It is now a legal requirement that all who may come across asbestos in their day-to-day work, should be provided with appropriate asbestos safety training.
