What Shouldn't I Do?
- Don’t panic – asbestos is only dangerous when disturbed. If it is safely managed and contained it doesn’t present a health hazard
- Don’t remove asbestos unnecessarily. Removing it can be more dangerous than simply containing it
- Don’t treat all asbestos materials the same. You only need to use a licenced contractor such as Whiteinch Asbestos to work on high risk materials, such as pipe insulation or asbestos insulating panels – not on asbestos cement which is much less dangerous
- Don’t assume you need to bring in a specialist in every case. The regulation allows you to inspect your own building and assume materials contain asbestos
- Don’t forget that the regulation is all about protecting maintenance workers and others from asbestos fibres, so concentrate on practical steps to achieve this
