How to make your property safe if you suspect it contains asbestos
AI summary
Suspect asbestos in your home? This guide covers essential safety steps for NZ property owners. Homes built or renovated between 1940 and 1990 are most at risk.
The danger arises when materials are disturbed, releasing fibres. Friable (crumbly) asbestos is the most hazardous. Before renovating, get professional testing.
