What Can Go Wrong?

Asbestos in various forms has been used very widely in many building products, as a reinforcing fibre in many plastics and as an engineering product in applications such as brake linings. Its wide use stems from it being chemically inert, light and strong, and because it is very stable when exposed to heat.

Asbestos, inhaled as dust can cause Lung Disease (Asbestosis), Lung Cancer and Mesothelioma (a cancer associated only with exposure to Asbestos). People who smoke are at greatly increased risk.

Asbestos when incorporated into a solid material (concrete, bitumen, plastic) poses very little risk until that material suffers mechanical damage (being, cut, broken, drilled, sanded, exposed to extreme heat or explosion).

Workplace will decide if Asbestos needs to be removed. Asbestos will not normally be removed unless there is a danger of disturbing it during works or a danger of future disturbance.
