Remove Non-friable Asbestos Training
Non-friable asbestos is a more solid and robust material than friable asbestos, meaning it is less likely to break down under pressure. Compared to friable asbestos, there is a lower risk of harmful airborne asbestos levels; however, asbestos is still asbestos, the health risk does not differentiate.
Non-friable asbestos is often mixed with a building compound to help with material sturdiness, adding another complexity to removal and disposal.
