As a matter of interest, would you expose your kids to asbestos?

It would depend on the credible scientific research. Once again you
have fallen for a scare story. Because you read it in the papers
doesn't mean it's true.

If I were to start cutting or drilling asbestos, because there is
credible scientific evidence of the hazard, then I wouldn't let them
near it. But I have no problem letting them into the asbestos
roofed garage.
Learn to think for yourself.

Endorsed. No problem provided no dust. Has made a fortune for some
folk and cost the country irrationally.

Asbestos roofing sheets aren't that dangerous anyway - at least I hope
not, having breathed loads of dust in while roofing garages (~3 / day
for about a year)

Depends upon the type of asbestos! I'm still here, just short of my seventh
decade having cut asbestos panles in my youth for fireproofing buildings
with no dust protection. I do wheeze ocassionally but I put that down to
age - I hope!

As I said -roofing sheets

I think that we can prolly do without another asbestos debate, though
