Hi
Asbestos, when wet, does not pose a problem as far as I am aware. I think  
the problem would arise if they got it on their clothing and then washed it 
with  fibres clinging to their clothing and then dried in a tumble drier, 
there may be  some fibres in the air. Unlikely I know, but it could be 
possible.
I think you need to speak to someone from HSE with regard to this but my  
opinion is that the exposure to wet asbestos would not cause a problem
Regards
Celia
