Asbestos-cement products - Asbestos content mainly 10-15 percent, but sometimes up to 40 percent
Asbestos-cement is the most widely used asbestos material. It is found in many types of building as profiled sheets for roofing and wall-cladding, in flat sheets and partition boards for linings to walls and ceilings, in bath panels, soffit boards, fire surrounds, flue pipes, cold water tanks and as roofing tiles and slates. It has been commonly used as roofing and cladding for garages and sheds and also in guttering and drainpipes. Asbestos cement products are unlikely to release high levels of fibres because of the way they are made, unless they are subject to extreme abrasion.

Removal of small amounts of asbestos cement
Removal of small amounts of asbestos cement can be carried out safely if these guidelines are followed:

1) Wear a dust mask approved for asbestos obtained from safety equipment suppliers.
2) Wear a disposable overall.
3) Keep other people away from the work area.
4) Spread a plastic sheet under the working area to collect dust.
5) Remember to keep the release of asbestos dust to a minimum by wetting the material (providing there is no contact with electricity).
6) Remove whole sheets or components; do not break them up. Clean up settled dust with a damp cloth and seal in a plastic bag whilst still damp.
7) Do not use a domestic vacuum cleaner, as fine asbestos dust will pass through the filter (industrial cleaners suitable for asbestos can be hired).
8) Wash well afterwards
