Asbestos Policy
Last modified: December 24, 2007 - 2:22 PM
Asbestos is a naturally occurring rock. There are two (2) families of minerals:
Serpentine - this group contains Chrysotile, commonly known as White Asbestos
Amphibole - this group contains Amosite (Brown Asbestos) and Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos) as well as some other less common types, Tremolite, Actinolite and Anthophyllite.
Asbestos occurs as bundles of very fine fibres. Stressing of fibres often results in an increase of airborne asbestos fibres.
