[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 423334, member: 1408"] I still hear the old adage today ............ " Oh this stuff is OK its only asbestolux which is safe " We were told years ago that to get rid of the real stuff it was shoved into the "Safe" stuff . We had to get experts in when we started a new fire alarm job at a big police station . We were going to drill through the nice wooden door frames for the pyros , we were ordered NOT to do that but to bodge holes in the white , fiberous , asbestos looking ceiling tiles . Experts confirmed it was asbestos , we were then told NOT to bodge holes in it , NOT to tell any of the staff there . I remember asking the expert if we could "Bodge" wearing the usual face masks ? He said "No way , got to be the proper equipment " He then went on to criticise us as we were smokers (Long time ago) Something on the lines of " You raised the asbestos query but you are smokers . Told him to cucumber off . [/QUOTE]
