What is Asbestos Abatement?

Asbestos abatement is the process of reducing or eliminating the health hazards associated with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from a building or a site. Asbestos abatement can involve several techniques, such as encapsulation, enclosure, or removal, depending on the condition and location of the ACMs. Encapsulation involves applying a special sealant or coating to the ACMs to prevent them from releasing fibers. Enclosure involves building a protective barrier around the ACMs to contain the fibers. Removal involves physically extracting and disposing of the ACMs in a safe and licensed landfill.

How is Asbestos Removal Carried Out?

Asbestos removal should only be carried out by trained and licensed professionals who follow strict guidelines and procedures to ensure the safety of workers and occupants. Asbestos removal typically involves the following steps:

1. Site assessment: A licensed asbestos surveyor will visit your property to identify and assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and determine the best removal strategy.

2. Preparation: The work area will be cordoned off and secured with plastic sheeting to prevent the spread of fibers. The workers will wear protective clothing, respiratory masks, and other safety equipment to avoid exposure to asbestos fibers.

3. Removal: The licensed asbestos removal contractors will use specialized tools and techniques to carefully remove the ACMs, while minimizing dust and fiber release. The ACMs will be double-bagged and labeled for safe disposal.

4. Decontamination: The workers will undergo a decontamination process, including showering and removing their protective clothing and equipment, to prevent the spread of fibers.

5. Clearance testing: A licensed asbestos analyst will conduct a final clearance test to ensure that the air and surfaces are free of asbestos fibers.

6. Disposal: The ACMs will be transported and disposed of in a licensed landfill or incinerator, according to the Waste Management Regulations (2011).
