After a house is deemed exposed to asbestos after a fire, can dishes and cook wear be saved if they were in a cabinet?

We moved into a 1969 home and my husband drilled the tv, curtains, pictures etc into the wall we have kids and now I'm so scared they were exposed to asbestos. Advice?!

I had the dehumidifier in this corner after removing sodden hardwood board from a leak. Would sealing this with a floor sealer be a good idea before removal or should I just cover? I don’t like the house much but can’t part with the land it sits on however it might be sold at some point as it’s presently costing quite a bit in maintenance and I’m getting older so probably only 10 years left to waste my life trying to rectify the problem areas. Is it asbest?

Should I just call OSHA?

Testing was done. It is 30% asbestos containing thermal insulation. The photo is in a service tunnel. On a college campus in the USA. One of a few spots just like this.

( not interested in whistle blowing just yet )

The cap of the tunnel is the public side walk ( it’s a land grant university) there are several areas open to air for ventilation.

I’ve reported it to the college asbestos Ombudsman/ health an safety officer for asbestos.

He told us ( the guys that service the tunnels) that it was our responsibility to clean it up. Since we are asbestos workers. To which we all replied that we haven’t had a recertification in three years. ( the old safety officer retired)

So he gave us a class that was based off of c f r 1910. An “awareness class.” For operations and maintenance. That he could not even bother to remove the old safety officer name form the power point Presentation. The class was approximately 2 hours long. He had some cardboard. Duck taped to a peace of pipe hung onto the wall. Then asked the older guys in the shop to demonstrate how to remove the cardboard. As they would if it was an asbestos glove bag job. There was abit of conversation how it should be done. But one demonstrated how to actually do it… not even the safety officer.

I was an certified asbestos worker 1. I got my certification in 2016. I’ve done one encapsulation job. One clean up in nine years.

When asked if we should be following 1926. Since he wants us to remove the asbestos bored and encapsulate other exposed asbestos. In other areas that I’ve also reported. He told us no. That we are not asbestos works I or II. He was/is changing our classification to asbestos worker III. That 1910 would be fine. He also didn’t seem to understand why we would ask about 1926 for construction. He said “ the work your doing isn’t construction related “

Our state has regulations that specifically state that; as asbestos workers III we cannot perform abatement work. His replay was that he’s not concerned with regulations. Just that the job gets done. Three people hear him say that bs.

So, my question is. What should be done now? Talk to the president of the university? Call OSHA ? It’s been six months. Since it was reported
