Best Answer
  1. Don't disturb the asbestos containing material or do things to it that might make it release dust.
  2. If you must disturb it, wet it first, wear proper respiratory protection and disposable clothing, clean the area afterward and strip and shower before dressing in street cloths.
  3. Follow state or national regulations or guides on the methods to use to disturb it without making it airborne.
