THE IMPORTANCE OF ASBESTOS REMOVAL

Did you know that asbestos removal can only be carried out by trained professionals? 

First, always be conscious of the fact that asbestos removal can be very dangerous if not properly managed in a controlled environment. The implementation of strict standards and regulations has therefore become necessary to ensure location and public safety.

Asbestos removal is not something to be taken lightly.

The risks of substandard asbestos removal?

Asbestos is a mineral that was at one time very popular in the construction industry. Amongst other uses, it was employed as an insulating material, and could be found in residential, commercial or industrial buildings.

As a thermal insulator, asbestos-based products were present in:

  • Floor and wall tiles and coating
  • False ceilings
  • Ventilation ducts, plumbing, etc.
  • ETC

However despite its considerable properties as a thermal insulator, asbestos has been identified as particularly hazardous to health.

This conclusion was drawn following the publication of studies demonstrating that inhaling asbestos dust can cause:

  • pulmonary fibrosis
  • respiratory failure
  • broncho-pulmonary cancers

Following this discovery, its installation was prohibited (except for a few exceptions) in residential, industrial or commercial buildings.

How to achieve a thorough asbestos removal?

Proper removal must meet established procedures based on precise regulation that aims to ensure environmental security and the decontamination of occupants.

In such a demanding context, a professional must have the right equipment, know the correct techniques, and be conscious of the standards to follow.

The procedure to be observed is as follows:

  • Identification (diagnosis of asbestos)
  • Monitoring the situation (asbestos level index)
  • Asbestos removal

Asbestos removal is a process of decontamination that carries with it sufficient risk that it must be left to a professional.
