What is Asbestos

What is Asbestos

Asbestos is a building material that was widely used in the building industry between the 1940's and late 1980's.

If left untouched and in good condition, Asbestos poses no immediate danger to human health. Asbestos products that are mishandled, broken or disturbed through activities such as pressure cleaning, cutting, drilling, sanding or air blasting can release the hazardous fibres. Asbestos fibres are dangerous to human health when inhaled.
