Health Issues - What Are The Risks?
Asbestos containing materials are safe and will not harm you as long as they are intact and have not been damaged or tampered with in any way. If the asbestos has been damaged or work has been carried out on it, then asbestos dust fibres may have been produced. It is these fibres that may cause health problems such as cancer, if inhaled.
Removal And Disposal Of Asbestos
Asbestos materials must be removed and disposed of in the correct manner. Do not attempt to remove asbestos lagging, spray coatings or large areas of Insulation board by yourself as these materials can only be safely removed by a licensed contractor.The easiest and safest way to do this is to use Abastra a licensed contractor.
Although you may not need a licence to carry out a particular job, you still need to comply with the rest of the requirements of the Asbestos Regulations 2006.
