What is friable and non-friable asbestos?

Asbestos can be classified as friable or non-friable, depending on how easily it crumbles or breaks apart. Friable asbestos is more likely to release airborne fibres and become a health hazard if disturbed. Non-friable asbestos is tightly bound and generally less likely to release fibres into the air when disturbed. Professional advice should always be sought before attempting to handle either type of asbestos.

Can asbestos be found in outdoor structures?

Yes, asbestos can be found in many outdoor structures, such as garages, sheds and outbuildings. Asbestos can also be present in some roofing materials and fencing. If you think there may be asbestos present in an outdoor structure, contact a professional asbestos removal company for advice and assistance.
