If you are demolishing an existing building to build a new one in place, carrying out structural repairs or renovations then you must know that asbestos removal is subject to WHS laws and codes of safety practices and it is mandatory to entrust asbestos removal to certified asbestos removal companies. Asbestos is risky Asbestos in buildings may exist in the form of friable asbestos that is dry and usually with crumbly texture. Invisible fibers easily become airborne and can enter lugs raising the specter of lung disease. Bonded asbestos or non-friable asbestos does not crumble easily but once it has aged it may become friable and asbestos fibers may be released into the air. Usually such bonded asbestos is vulnerable now because the bonding material has probably reached end of life and asbestos fibers are likely to be released. https://www.acaaus.com.au/
