What hazards? That's the point.
Having asbestos materials present does not in itself create a hazardous situation.
Just like having electricity and gas in the house. They can be dangerous in specific circumstances, but not in every day situations.
Does this look like an asbestos garage roof to you?

Out of interest, what would you guys expect to pay to have the roof cleaned and resealed to stop some leaks?
More than it would cost to buy new sheeting. Lipstick on a pig comes to mind.

That’s surprising. I’ll get quotes for both then I suppose.
Is that because of the asbestos?
"...There's a hole in my bucket Dear Liza..."
Yes that’s cement based asbestos roof . Wouldn’t recommend messing with it yourself . If it’s only few simple holes that you can reach them safely off a ladder. I’d say a fibre glass paint like ... Acrypol As it Bridges gaps and cracks with ease and is so easy to apply
Thanks. It’s okay to brush off after wetting it as well? I’m thinking about prepping the surface.
It should be okay when wet to sweep ,as the dampness will stop any loose asbestos fibres from becoming airborne , make sure your not sweeping or scraping that when it’s dry , once that’s done let any water drain off then paint ,as acrypol can be applied to moist surfaces.. just DO NOT scrape or sweep when dry Good luck
