No he wouldnt be ok if he had a mask! He drills through the asbestos, the fibres get stuck to his clothes and he then comes home so he and his family can inhale it, maybe even pick up and cuddle his newborn baby covering him in asbestos fibres, he then puts his clothes in the washing machine where it can spread to everyone else's clothing and increasing the risk. But as long as he wore a mask he'll be fine....
If you ever suspect that you've disturbed asbestos then leave the site and dont return until professionals have dealt with it.
Good point there....... hard to believe in my apprenticeship it was barely mentioned and little time was spent on the issue i suspect nowadays its alot more emphasis on the dangers of it, we had a big brake companies employing alot of our town in the 60's 90's and most of the staff there have met an early painful demise because of it....
