Yup, asbestos is very dangerous – if you breathe in asbestos dust it can cause some really nasty diseases.
If asbestos is properly contained, like in fibro sheets, it is pretty safe. But cutting or removing fibro sheets makes dust, which once again, is really dangerous. Builders who work on old fibro buildings have to wear special protective equipment and do extra training so they stay safe.
