Asbestos can be found in buildings, workplaces and dwellings built before 1990. Buildings, workplaces and dwellings that have been built after 1990
can also contain asbestos.
Asbestos can be difficult to identify and it is often impossible to confirm it's presence by a visual inspection. The only way to be
certain whether asbestos is present is to have a sample of the material analysed by an accredited laboratory.
You should never attempt to sample anything you believe may contain asbestos. It is very dangerous and should only be done by a licensed contractor.
