Asbestos removal

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.

The products suggested under this rubric may help the user when choosing personal protection equipment.

The test results may also help when choosing personal protection equipment.

However, it is understood that real conditions of use cannot be simulated.

It is therefore the responsibility of the user (and not of the manufacturer or its representative) to determine whether this product selection is suitable for the envisaged use.

Be aware that no PPE, even when compliant with one or more standards, offers an absolute guarantee of safety and protection.

In all cases, before performing any operation that could jeopardise your health or safety, it is indispensable that you perform a risk appraisal, that you envisage all possible preventive solutions, that you draw up an emergency plan if necessary, have the required qualifications and are familiar with the safety guidelines.

For safety and hygiene reasons, PPE is always for invidivual use.
