Best Answer

There are only two ways to know if your fireproof safe contains asbestos.

  1. Look at the design specifications for the make and model you have, or
  2. Have a hole drilled in the safe so a sample of the interior material can be removed by a qualified asbestos handler and analyzed by a qualified analytical laboratory.

How do you find out if a house has asbestos?

To find out if a house has asbestos in it, you should first learn when it was built. Houses built in the US after about 1984 are unlikely to have any asbestos-containing materials involved in their construction. Then, have a qualified inspector examine the house and take samples of suspect building materials. Have them analyzed by a qualified lab and review the laboratory report or have it explained to you. It is impossible to tell by looking alone, or by a test performed in the home, whether any particular building material contains asbestos.
