Hire a company for asbestos removal

Hi,
I'm considering hiring a company for asbestos removal. Is there anything specific I should keep in mind?
I've googled a bit, but mostly found information about scams, which creates some worry/questions.

I hired OCAB to remove black adhesive residues from a garage floor.

I received a bunch of quotes and they were the cheapest and did an okay job.

I had OCAB to clean black glue residue from a garage floor.

Thanks for the response, what does an okay job mean? What could have been better?

They missed a handle on a concrete manhole cover, and they didn't return the key themselves, so I had to pick it up at their office in another location. So I might be a bit stingy by only giving them an "ok".

But I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

What is to be demolished?
The fear of asbestos is often exaggerated, considering that it's the fine dust you should avoid over 10-20 years to prevent lung damage.
The most effective method, apart from respiratory protection, is to handle asbestos wet/damp as no dust will be released into the air.

What is it that needs to be demolished?
The fear of asbestos is often exaggerated, considering that it's the fine dust one should avoid over 10-20 years to prevent lung damage.
The most effective method besides respiratory protection is to handle asbestos wet/damp to prevent dust from being released into the air.

Thanks, I'm hiring a company anyway. I don't want to clean it up myself, I don't have the time.
