Discuss Is there any asbestos in meter boxes? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Using the correct dust mask and the correct vacuum yes, they need to have the correct level of filtration otherwise the asbestos dust will go straight through the filter.
Even with the correct filter and vacuum I don't feel that would be enough, it would still get on to your clothes and from there anywhere else. The asbestos awareness course basically said leave it alone unless you are properly trained. Being trained seemed to include all the correct overalls as well as mask and porper vacuum equipment.
