Stage one: A general approach

•        Everyone can, and must complete stage one

•        We don't know what might contain asbestos

•        We won't touch anything and we will leave it to the professionals

Stage two: A more specific approach

•        Some building knowledge is needed to identify building materials

•        If you are unsure if a building material contains asbestos – then assume it does!

•        We do and don't know what might contain asbestos

•        We may touch the safe stuff but will leave the rest to the professionals

Stage three: An exact approach

•        When you are doing demolition, maintenance or other building works

•        Only for qualified, experienced, licenced contractors!
