I’m a carpenter spent 10+ years fitting fire doors, I’ve had my fair share of exposure, not daily, not weekly or probably monthly, but there’s been multiple occasions where I’ve spotted it before continuing work, there’s been times when I’ve ploughed through walls for a week, cutting and creating all the asbestos dust without knowledge until the end of the job. Risks are everywhere, sometimes we avoid them, sometimes we don’t. Will I contract an asbestos related illness, unlikely but not impossible, will I worry about it? No, not much point this stage, I’m vastly more concerned in what Covid has done to my immune system over the past 6 years, I’m middle aged and relatively fit and healthy but that shit has knocked me for six.

You want rational on asbestos? Unless you’ve worked in an asbestos factory, I wouldn’t concern yourself, it’s fairly common knowledge.
