Exposure to asbestos can cause serious disease and long term health problems. Working in conditions where asbestos is present without proper equipment and expertise is likely to result in an individual inhaling harmful dust.

Asbestos roofs were popular in the 1950s and have a grey, hard and corrugated appearance. There are three types: crociodolite, chrysotile and amosite. All three are extremely dangerous to remove without the correct training and expertise.
The dangers of asbestos exposure
The human body cannot destroy the toxic fibres once they are lodged in lung or body tissues.
Individuals can develop the following diseases after exposure:
Asbestosis: A serious, chronic, non-cancerous respiratory disease related to inhaling toxic fibres
Lung cancer: People who have been exposed to asbestos have a significantly greater risk of developing lung cancer
Mesothelioma: a rare form of cancer that most often occurs in the thin membrane lining of the lungs, chest, abdomen, and heart
