Handling
Seek professional advice prior to handling.
Keep damp and wrap in two layers of heavy duty black plastic sheeting taped down with duct tape.
While Council has provided these brief guidelines on the handling of asbestos, we recommend that any material thought to contain asbestos be removed, handled and disposed of by a licensed asbestos removal contractor in accordance with Worksafe Victoria’s Guidelines.
