Removed asbesos roof - dust in attic - problem?

We recently had our old asbestos roof removed and replaced. It needed it for a while and we wondered how we could ever afford removal. As luck would have it a recent storm sent hail our way and the roof got replaced by our insurance co. We were required to get a osha approved asbestos removal co. Which the roofer contracted out for.

Now that all is said and done I have gone into the attic storage areas to retrieve some fall holiday decor and see everything covered with fine particle dust. I am afraid to handle anything in there. And all web sights say not to vacuum it up without approved equipment. Was this the job of the removal co.? Seeing as it's inside the house I wondered. also, is it possible that the dust particles are not asbestos but backing material or just dust from the removal process? Not sure what to do, will call the company with questions but wanted some advice first. Thanks
