You may have heard of asbestos before, but what exactly is it? Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials for its durable and fire-resistant properties. While it may have been popular in the past, it has since been discovered that asbestos is incredibly dangerous when its fibres are inhaled.

Exposure to asbestos can lead to a range of serious health conditions, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. As such, the removal of asbestos is not something to be taken lightly. It requires specific training and equipment to ensure that the material is removed safely and effectively.
