Posted by SuchundFind The best is to do as much as you can to not get it in your body but you can't of course bring a shower and such to the place.

Showering has little to do with it. It's primarily an inhalation hazard.
Wear safety glasses.
Cover your hair.
One time Tyvex suit with hood sealed with tape at hands and boots... you really want to go to sites with asbestos snow storms?
I've seen asbestos blowing down street outside the Sun refinery in Marcus Hook. I know it was asbestos because I was blasting the pipe and hit the insulation. It happen every now and then... and it exploded into the air in millions of pieces of a white cloud of dust. I used an air hood and a respirator out of the hood, no one else did.
Through the fence it blew and down the street it went... circa 1982.
I've worked with asbestos siding... oh my. Not really, just don't go making a mess and go mashing it up.
Most people have to suck up a lot of asbestos to get stricken by it. One or a couple heavy exposure could do it but probably not. Heavy exposure; nose clogged with fibers ie Steve McQueen.
