Asbestos use has been banned in Australia since 2003 but many structures that were built before that still have asbestos content in them. It means the material continues to be a health risk on these properties.
Although non-friable asbestos is not as much a risk as friable asbestos, you must hire licensed and experienced professionals for its removal. They will manage the job safely and efficiently.

It is the only way to ensure that the dust-containing asbestos fibres are not released into the air.
Asbestos exists in two states- non-bonded and bonded. The former needs careful handling and as the fibres tend to get quickly released into the air if the material suffers even minor damage or deterioration. On the other hand, bonded or non-friable asbestos is not as hazardous as friable variant.

However, it is still hazardous if handled improperly.
