These diseases often develop over a long period of time and once diagnosed it is often too late for effective treatment to cure the disease. When the fibres are inhaled, they can cause serious diseases. If the ACM is damaged or disturbed, then the microscopic asbestos fibres are released into the air and are at risk of being breathed in. Why is asbestos removal important? If ACMs remain undisturbed, they pose little risk. An example of this would be asbestos dust or debris. Alternatively, removal of the asbestos may be the only option available due to the poor condition of the ACMs. It may be decided to remove the ceiling and replace it with a non-asbestos ceiling so that future access is possible without risk from asbestos fibres. An example of this would be as asbestos ceiling that is in good condition, but it has become necessary to gain access to the ceiling void. If it is decided that an ACM can be removed, then consideration may need to be given to reinstatement using a non-asbestos alternative. The ACMs will often have been installed to take advantage of its heat resisting qualities and its removal needs to be very carefully considered. ACMs come in many forms and typically include boards, insulations and coatings. The objective of asbestos removal is to eliminate the risk presented from asbestos fibres through removal of the asbestos containing materials (ACM). What is asbestos removal?
