As Asbestos Containing Material is only a serious hazard when there is a risk of
exposure to asbestos fibres, or a risk that disturbance of Asbestos Containing Material will result in the release of asbestos fibres, it is not always best to remove it. In fact, an attempt by an unqualified individual to remove asbestos often results in the development of a considerably more hazardous environment than if the Asbestos Containing Material had been left as it was. A professional asbestos surveyor is able to asses if Asbestos Containing Material must be removed or whether it is 100% safe to leave in the premises.
