Asbestos fibres are more likely to be released when:

• Asbestos-containing material are not identified before work starts.
• Work is poorly planned or badly carried out;
• You work on dry asbestos-containing materials
• You use power tools or saws
• You sweep up asbestos-containing debris. Don't do this.
• Asbestos-containing materials may be left in place, subject to a suitable risk assessment and as long as they do not and will not put anyone at risk of exposure to asbestos fibres.
