Whale: I’m very grateful for your reply, which as JimmyT says is quite comprehensive, and for the link to Asbestos Check.
Also, you were correct – we’re in NSW – and the report was, as I noted in the my query, just a look-round by a suitably registered consultant. The consultant was commissioned by our managing agents.
We have ExCo & AGM meetings coming up next week, so armed with your information I’ll raise the topic then, and point out the options you’ve described.
And JimmyT, thanks for your little story about people drilling into fire-resistant doors. For “extra locks”???? Good heavens!!
Was the “blue powder” confirmed as crocidolite, or was it just a colour-coded fire-resistant powder? I’d assumed that crocidolite (“blue asbestos”) would be white in dust form, and in use in cavities like a fire door.
