Which of the following statements about asbestos is accurate?

All asbestos is hazardous regardless of condition
Asbestos is only a concern if damaged or disturbed
Asbestos cannot be safely managed
Only certain types of asbestos are harmful

The correct answer is: Asbestos is only a concern if damaged or disturbed

The statement that asbestos is only a concern if damaged or disturbed is accurate because asbestos in its intact and undisturbed state poses minimal risk to health. When materials containing asbestos are completely intact, they do not release fibers into the air, which is the primary way that exposure occurs. It is only when asbestos-containing materials are damaged—such as during renovations, removal, or degradation—that asbestos fibers can become airborne and potentially be inhaled. Understanding this distinction is critical for effective management and regulatory practices surrounding asbestos. Many regulatory frameworks allow for "in-place management" of asbestos materials that are not currently posing a risk, rather than immediate removal, highlighting a strategic approach to handling asbestos safely while minimizing unnecessary disruptions.
