Loose-fill asbestos insulation is usually white to grey. It is loose and friable. It may have been poured out of bags between beams or sprayed over roofing beams and be found in wall cavities, sub-floors and other parts of the home.
It was used as thermal roofing insulation in ceilings in Australian homes built before 1990.
If you think a building has loose-fill asbestos, do not enter or work in the ceiling space, wall cavities or sub-floor areas. Get advice from a licensed asbestos assessor on managing asbestos in the workplace.
