For you to have a very clear view on removing asbestos here are some guidelines you will need to remember. Part of the preparation for the removal of asbestos-containing substances is by complying with the Asbestos Removal Code. Specifying the constraints required in the removal procedure is very important. You need to keep the area secure by putting up signs and barriers in the area so that no one can enter the premise. After which, electrical, lighting installations and furniture must be removed. The ventilation and air conditioning must be sealed off to prevent asbestos from going into the ventilation ducts. In case you need to have lighting in the area, you should use portable work lights which are wired and wired to an outside circuit for safety measures. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should as well be accessible. Complete protective wear, head covers, masking, over boots, gloves and respiratory protective equipment like a gas mask with dual cartridges and HEPA filters are necessary. To prevent asbestos from being airborne, tools needed for the removal may include a 2-3 gallon tank sprayer, liquid detergent, putty knives, step ladders, plastic sheeting, asbestos waste disposal bags, duct tape, sealant. To contain the work area, plastic sheeting must be used on the walls and floors and seal off everything with duct tape. After preparing the job site and the materials required, you need to carefully wet the asbestos-containing material with "amended" water, which is water mixed with liquid detergent.

Do not ever blow off the contaminated area with water. This is imperative to keeping the fibres undamaged so to prevent them from being breathed in. You may start scratching off the asbestos-bearing material cautiously when you're finished soaking it. Never break them into pieces for they may still contain fibres which you could ingest. You need to carefully scrape all the material and leave it intact. The material should nevertheless be soaked in water when this process is finished. Otherwise, it's time for you to stop working and call in an expert to finish the job. You want to scrape off the walls or floors at first before sealing the area with paint. After scraping off the material, you need to place it in special disposal bags including your disposable coveralls. These should be double bagged and double wrapped. The particular bin is mandatory in putting away asbestos because it is unlawful to place asbestos waste and combine it with domestic garbage bins. Appropriate classification and the contents of the waste material is needed for each bag for safety purposes.
