WHY AVOID ASBESTOS?
Health effects:- Lung Cancer
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
Smokers are at greater risk!

HOW TO HANDLE ASBESTOS
LEAVE IT ALONE (if in good condition).
Look for signs of wear or damage - avoid touching.
If damaged or renovation might disturb it, repair or remove by licensed professional.
