Special risk factors

Concrete is not dangerous but avoid inhaling dust and direct exposure. Asbestos dust is carcinogenic and those who work with this should therefore not be exposed to asbestos dust. The plastic that the asbestos is packed in, must therefore be intact. Be careful when handling this.
