Asbestos tiles broken

[Welshlou]

Hi all,

I recently had an outbuilding removed from my farm, which was had asbestos tiles in the roof. It was done by licensed contractors.

The outbuilding was very close to our house and I noticed that within bricks and rubble left from the first day's work, there were bits of broken asbestos tiles. These were subsequently separated from the rubble and disposed of property, however, while they were laying within the rubble, do you think they were posing any danger to us?

I just ask, because people say that asbestos tiles are fine until they are broken?

Thanks.

It is the dust that causes problems, i.e. if they are broken, or especially if they are drilled.
