Florida, FL (prHWY.com) July 13, 2012 - Florida, July 13, 2012 - Individual preventive equipment give disposable overalls fitted with a hood, boots with out laces boots are hard to decontaminate, and-respiratory protective equipment. Method, Will you avoid removal, eg by overlaying with non-asbestos material? Warn the building owner about the presence of asbestos material, so it can be handled properly.

Sharps Container Disposal - Removal Place the scraper in the joint between the tiles. Lift the tile gently - try to avoid breakage. For firmly-fixed tiles, tap the scraper with the hammer. For a large tiled area, lift tiles using a shovel. This speeds up the job and avoids kneeling close to the tiles. Spray water under the tiles as they are lifted, to suppress dust and wet any asbestos paper that may be present. Wet any asbestos paper tile backing as the tiles are lifted. Gently scrape up adhering mastic. You can soften mastic with solvent, by warming with an infra-red lamp, or embrittle it with dry ice. Place debris in the waste container.

Caution: Never sand the floor. Cleaning and disposal Where you have removed only a few tiles, use damp rags to clean the floor. Clean larger areas with the Class H vacuum cleaner. Clean the equipment with damp rags. Put debris, used rags and other waste in the asbestos waste container and tape it closed. Put the asbestos waste container in a clear polythene sack and tape it closed.

Disposal Double-wrap and label asbestos waste. Standard practice is to use a red inner bag with asbestos warnings, and a clear outer bag with the CDG sign.
