Vaguely sensible response;

Asbestos is fine until you disturb it (creating any dust)

MMMF can be fine with the correct procedures <linky> German standards but the principle is the same.


Having procrastinated enough I best go do some work now…

I have a question .... why do you think predominately IT contractors would have any interest in asbestos?

When Suity is the PM, it might be appropraite....

[MasterBait]

I think I inhaled asbestos in the Heathrow Thistle, will I have superpowers now?

What's a server room?

and do asbestos underpants mean you can eat hotter curry?

Server rooms is where computers lived before they all moved into the cloud !!!

At my last place the head of product actually thought her cloud servers were in a cloud and not in a data center somewhere

I rarely go into the office, let alone the server room; I send the expendable nerds there, which, with hindsight, sounds like a good idea

You have raised some good points though. Be great if you could give us some more information as I'm sure there are quite a few people on here who would be equally innerested in what you have to say.

FTFY

There's no excuse for ignorance.

For information, the latest stats, for you IT nerds, stat that 58% of all server rooms and services come into contact with asbestos in older buildings, so how much asbestos do you come into contact with

I won't have the muck anywhere in the house, and insulated my loft entirely with Micafil Vermiculite pellets.

Vermiculite - Wikipedia




I like living dangerously.

I had chicken for tea.

On a related note, is "mesothelioma" still the most expensive word for pay-per-click on Google Adwords? IIRC it was once going for over £50 per click due to the size of the potential commissions that could be earned for Asbestos-related lung cancer claims.

Good day everyone.

I join you today in the hope of answering some of your questions regarding Asbestos, and the Consultancy/Removal of materials.

Today I joined because I have just had a contract offered to me for a new book, which now allows me to step back from the industry that I have served so well, I mean, that once this book hits the shelves, and my name becomes known, I won't be able to work again.

But in the interest of public safety, and business coffers, the information I go onto divulge is sure to rock the establishment.

All I can say to those in the Asbestos Sector is this, you should have all behaved better! Come in number 9 your time is up!!

So. without further adieu, if anyone wants to ask anything, even the most technical of questions, then feel free and I'll help where I can, whilst being as honest as I can.

James.

Would you be innerested in removing some unpleasant materials located at Bridgewater service station?

It's been known for man, many years that MMMF has the same characteristics as.....!

My partner favoured MMMF for a big job in club she was doing recently, she was really satisfied with the outcome.

Not sure if you're for real, or whether this is a wind up, but taking your posts at face value ..

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it emerged that fibreglass loft insulation was every bit as bad as asbestos. I mean it's pretty obvious that microscopic glass slivers are little different from needle-like mineral crystals of asbestos and presumably neither degrades over time when lodged in the lungs.

Mrs OH has been putting asbestos in your pillows for years.

Was it A Good Idea to put blue asbestos in the filter tips of Kent cigarettes between 1952 and 1956?

Of course it was!
At the time.
