CRITICAL: What NOT to Do

DO NOT vacuum or sweep asbestos dust
DO NOT use fans or open windows
DO NOT shake out contaminated clothing
DO NOT allow anyone to re-enter the area
DO NOT attempt DIY cleanup or containment
DO NOT wash contaminated items in your regular washing machine

Document the Incident

While waiting for emergency response, record the following:

  • Date and Time of incident
  • Exact location where material was disturbed
  • How asbestos was disturbed (drilling, cutting, breaking, etc.)
  • Names of everyone who was in the area
  • How long people were exposed before evacuation

When to Seek Medical Attention

Seek immediate medical attention if anyone experiences:

  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Persistent coughing or wheezing
  • Chest pain or tightness
  • Any respiratory distress

Tell the doctor you were exposed to asbestos dust/fibers. Keep this information in your medical records, as asbestos-related diseases can develop decades after exposure.
