In heavy industry and maintenance of steam mains etc the common
practice is to minimise the handling and breaking of the insulation
panel or gasket. Spray the asbestos with a solution of PVC water based
glue to hold the fibres intact, remove carefully and place in a sealed
plastic bag. A mask is good practice.
NOTE; original brakes and the dust from the linings is a similar risk
which should be avoided. Wetting with water to prevent the particles
from becoming airborn is another process. Too much water and the sheet
will break easily, too little and you have the risk of dust. The
asbestos cannot be removed from the lung lining once inhaled.
I believe that old style toll gate money collectors were considered to
be in a high risk situation.
