My first job in construction was tending a plastering crew. I used to mix asbestos in hundred pound sacks in the brown mud. Mask? That's what the Lone Ranger wore.My dad was healthy as a horse, low blood pressure. That hit him in his 80's. I think he was 83, or just about 84 when he passed.
If the asbestos isn't dry and flying around, it is a lot safer. I've seen guys scraping up that black mastic under flooring, which is loaded with it. They just kept it sogging wet as they scraped it up.
