Found Asbestos? Stop Work and Call ICE Asbestos Immediately
If you discover or suspect asbestos at work, in a public building, or at home, the most important thing to do is stop and seek professional help immediately. Asbestos is only safe when left undisturbed — incorrect handling can release dangerous fibres and put lives at risk.
- Do not attempt to deal with it yourself
- Do not ignore it
- Call ICE Asbestos to take care of it safely and legally

- Stop work immediately
Do not cut, drill, break, or disturb the material any further. - Keep people away from the area
Restrict access and, if possible, close doors or isolate the space. - Do not clean, sweep, or vacuum
This can spread asbestos fibres into the air. - Call ICE Asbestos straight away
