I agree!

I agree!

I am an IOSH trained assesor, also, due to to my job, especially years ago, was in the high risk category for coming into contact with asbestos (regularly on pre 1960's ships - especially Russian flag vessels) so had to have intensive training on asbestos - risks and contact..
Only an idiot would deem this low risk.
I would steer well clear.
I think that contemplating disposing of your beesuit afterwards is a strong indicator that you shouldn't think of taking the job on.

Couldn't agree more.

Justification for my previous answer I think

4th line down of your previous post was easily demonstrated. Unfortunately they may well reproduce before succumbing to the “azzy”. Darwin not quite working as we would like?

Asbestos cancer takes 20-60 years to burst. If you are now old and you are going to die anyway inside 20 years, for something else, you have no risk, when you do the work and save money your living days.

This reminds me of a bloke I visited who damaged some AIB in his home who 'knew' it was cement. Should have seen his face when I told him everything that cannot be satisfactorily cleaned will have to be double bagged and disposed of as asbestos waste, including the newborn child and family pet cat I

Shouldn't complain, helped pay my mortgage

A real life example of Darwinian theory I think.
And using the missing link as well!!!

For some this holds true at 20 years of age, it could be decades before lumps form.
However 60 year old well worked (frost bitten?) lungs..?.. your risk your pain,
next year.

From MartinL’s post it might appear that someones obnoxious post has been removed? Perhaps that sentence should read obnoxious someone.

I Ain’t in no hole

Quite right. Or can you have a hole in a hole? Everyone has one, some are.

I've sat with people who were dying of asbestosis decades after their exposure. I'd never expose myself to a risk of dying that way.

You Sir win that award hands down..

Held off until now, but this has degraded to a slanging match and is no help to the OP or anybody else who might encounter a similar dilemma. JBM and thorn are dead right (I've been involved at both ends of the asbestos story having worked in NHS where asbestos was used long after it was banned elsewhere - but that's another story).
Some points not clear:
No one asked exactly what was meant by a cut out in this particular case; removing an intact sheet of asbestos cement can be done safely with minimum precautions being necessay whereas hacking it to pieces cannot without significant precautions.
So, bees under an asbestos roof, wall or junction? Can you approach from a different place, e.g. inside the building? How will you support yourself safely? Asbestos cement gives way suddenly and will not take the weight of a human.
There is a clear risk from dust to the op, and as an individual he can risk his own health, but this does not allow him to produce dust which is a hazard to others. Morally wrong, but also contravenes H & S @ W (etc) A (note the etc).
Slightly different to the question, but maybe of note; I have come across sprayed asbestos inside NHS and ex-MOD buildings - mostly on ceilings - which has been plastered over and there is no clue as to what the plaster is hiding.
Please, points of view are worth consideration, but here, I suggest that asking more questions of the OP would have been more useful than mud slinging.

Very informative

[MartinL]

No one asked exactly what was meant by a cut out in this particular case; ?

The OP is quite clear that he expects to be exposed to significant dust that will contaminate his suit;

Should i dump my suit after or will washing remove any asbestos that might get on it?

It is this risk that almost everyone but the profanely stupid (and perhaps uneducated) are advising against.

There is a clear risk from dust to the op,

It is an unfortunate fact that the "cash in hand brigade" (and those who employ/promote them) are responsible for the environmental mess so often seen in the UK today.

Simple advice from almost everyone here is just,
leave it to those qualified to do it properly with due legal, moral & financial implications.

Why is that so difficult to understand?
