Question about Asbestos (I'm a New Apprentice)

Hey guys, I just started with a small company doing heat pump and furnace installs as well as re and re on Vancouver Island. I noticed quite a few of these re and res have asbestos tape on the duct work.

My boss says not to worry, soak it with some water and to take it off with a paint scraper. He gave me a funny look when I asked for gloves and a mask. So I have just been doing it anyway.

Is it true that wetting the tape down is "good enough" ? Or should I be asking for more protection?
