definite no-but most employers will not tell you-i work in chem. plant and its every where it usually flies around and it costs a ton of money to have it removed/replaced by special peoplthet have their own union-so most people if they do know-wont tell

Does not look like it to me. Have you ever been in a home built before the 80′s? The ceilings that are rough and sparkly are asbestos. Anyway, asbestos is against state health regulations. They would have been shut down during inspection if it was asbestos.

I very much doubt it. It looks like an older variety of fibreglass insulation. They didn’t use asbestos for insulation like that. On the other hand, it shouldn’t be exposed like that, because fibreglass insulation can break into short strands and dust that can be very irritating to the throat and bronchial tubes. It should have a new layer of plastic stapled over it.

Ask your employer, I’m pretty sure they’re required to tell you about that kind of stuff.
