Easy Disposal of Asbestos Cement Sheets Service

 

 

Disposal of asbestos cement sheets and other asbestos containing materials is something that should not be taken lightly. Asbestos was once considered something of a miracle product so was used freely in hundreds of thousands of building projects before the 1990’s. Because of this, asbestos is present in many homes, offices and warehouses and could possibly be causing you and your workers harm.

 

Asbestos only poses an immediate danger when it is in deteriorating or broken up so, in some cases, leaving it alone is the best option. In other instances, you are legally bound to remove it. In the case of the disposal of asbestos cement sheets, there is a certain process that should be followed to prevent the unnecessary release of dangerous fibres.

 

Safety is of the utmost importance so the area needs to be secured and cordoned off. No one else but the workers should be present. Cement sheeting is quite large in most cases so the first issue is whether or not it can be covered. If it can be safely sealed with a non-asbestos material, choose this method first.

 

If the cement sheeting must be removed, all surrounding must be covered in heavy duty plastic. There must be protective gear and respiratory equipment available. There must be clear polythene sacks for disposal and a lockable and registered skip for containing and transporting large amounts.

 

For appropriate and safe disposal of asbestos cement sheets, all areas must be watered down, including the sheeting and tools. Bolt cutters or unscrewing may be necessary to remove the asbestos cement sheets. Under no circumstance should the asbestos cement sheets be let go to fall to the ground. They should always be laid down as carefully as possible; either inside the skip or the polythene sacks.

 

The container should be carefully labeled before being removed. All equipment should be thoroughly cleaned or disposed of. Dumping of asbestos cement is prohibited unless it is taken to a registered ‘special waste’ dump site. All of this is best done by a licensed asbestos removal contractor.
