But, as much as it's joked about, large flake asbestos isn't generally going to be a problem. It's a problem when you drill/grind/pulverize into a dust (friable) and inhale it.

13 0 ReplyCraigeryTheKid @beehaw.org Oh jeez, yes sorry, I'm not saying we should bring them back! Just that it wasn't deadly to the touch, etc.
Asbestos should definitely be removed from our surroundings.
