Hello.
I need help to determine if the eaves lining I have just demolished contains asbestos. I wore a p2 mask and glasses during demo but didn't consider it would be asbestos at all until a neighbour mentioned it could be (after I had completed it)
House was built in Brisbane, March 1992. The back of the board is stamped Hardiflex.
I have attached some photos. Freaking out a bit.
You can get it tested. I did that in Brisbane a few years ago when doing an install at my mother’s place. From memory, it cost about $50 and was worth it for the peace of mind.
australia pretty much stopped using asbestos in the building industry in mid 80s so you should be fine
but... those pictures look like asbestos

Got it tested by COHLABS in Stones Corner. Came back as not being asbestos. Thanks for the advice.
Cost was $44 for one sample to get tested, same day results.
