Caution:
Asbestos removal is a dangerous and highly regulated activity.
During these works I have to work in a confined and polluted environment.
In fact, friable asbestos particles represent a fatal risk if I happened to breathe them in.
Single-use filtering half-masks, wrap-around masks
with cartridges must only be used for short-term
operations. (filter model FFP3).
They must be carefully cleaned after use.
Alternatively, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used.
I wear protective clothing of type 5.
This latter must be taken off and thrown away with the asbestos waste.
I use watertight protective gloves, overshoes
(unless comprised in the overalls), wrap-around goggles, etc.
In all cases I make sure that all the equipment
used is properly tight
Before performing any operation I have undergone specific training and I am
working within an organisation that has the necessary approvals
for this activity.
