Exposure to Asbestos can lead to serious illness and fatality from mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer. An exposure standard exists for asbestos – being 0.1 fibres per ml of air (in a persons breathing zone averaged over 8 hours).

• Unlicensed removal of under 10 sq m of ACM does not include friable asbestos
• High pressure air or gases must not be used on or near ACM
• High power tools must not be used (unless dust is able to be totally captured and exposure remains half of the exposure standard)

• Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) means any material, object, product or debris that contains asbestos.
• Non-Friable Asbestos means asbestos-containing material which, when dry, does not become crumbled, pulverised or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Common examples: cement sheeting, ceiling tiles, vinyl tiles.
