Tom, probably reasonably true with white asbestos - not quite so ok with blue asbestos.
Many is the corrugated asbestos roof I've sawn up and fire place I've blocked with asbestos cement board. When I had Launderettes years back, we had to do an asbestos survey, and the only bits they could find were in the wired fuse holders for the power distribution. Tiny bits perhaps 1/4" x 1/2". We had to have a log with a 'plan', inspect every year and report on it's condition! Needless to say I just changed the fuse holders :)
