What to do if you think you have asbestos in your home

It is very hard to identify asbestos, but if you suspect that you are living with asbestos:

• don't panic and leave asbestos alone, it's safe unless it's damaged or disturbed
• never sand, drill or saw asbestos materials
• always seek professional advice before thinking of removing asbestos materials
• do not attempt to remove asbestos lagging, spray coatings or insulation board by yourself. These materials can only be safely removed by a licensed contractor
• sometimes it will be necessary to take a sample, for example to identify the type of asbestos. Only employ a suitably trained person to sample or do a survey of the premises
