The next question is, do we have to look for an asbestos removalist? Or we want to remove the asbestos by ourselves?
Although I do not recommend you to do asbestos disposal (DIY), but if you're forced to do it, you must know a lot of things, such as the safety and healthy on DIY job.
Let’s get started:
Asbestos kits are the main thing you have to understand before you do a lot of works on this project.
The kits below are equipment that is generally required to remove the hazardous substances. Before you do it, please understand in depth, due to the elimination of hazardous materials, it may hurt your body, so please carefully.
Let's look together.
The Important (Must Have) Kits of Asbestos Removal
1. Mask
The mask is a kit that you must have. There are so many types of masks that can be encountered, but you cannot use a wrong type of mask. Please choose the P2 type of masks. This mask type can protect the dust of asbestos from attacking your health.
The dust of asbestos is very dangerous, and the P2-type of mask can help you from it. That’s the point!
Goggles
The glasses is included into the mandatory tools you should use when you want to do the DIY removal. The dust from asbestos is very small, this dust can get into your body, it can also get into your eyes, so be careful
You should ensure that your glasses is 100% protect your eyes from the dust.
Gloves
The gloves are very popular tool kit, this kit can protect your hands from a sharp object and of course in this case, it can protect you from the flying of dust, which may happen when you do asbestos disposal from a place to another.
The gloves you should use is the disposable gloves. You have to throw the gloves were exposed to the asbestos. Make sure you dispose that gloves in a safe place and not into the forbidden area.
Overall suit
Shoes
In general, you can use whatever shoes you have, but make sure it can cover all parts of your foot. You also have to use the shoes that do not have a rope, I mean without laced.
Plastic bag
This is the last kit you should prepare. Although there are many types of plastic, but make sure you use plastic that has the type of P2, and you have to throw away the plastic containing asbestos, to a place that has permission from the government.
Okay that's all the 6 kits of asbestos removal you should know. Remember, I still don't like you to do it by your self, as you know, there is so many dangerous things on the asbestos material, even every years the victims still counting.
If you have a large area that need to be removed, then you need more professional guys, but if you find just a small area maybe less than 1M of total, it's still okay even I hate to say it. Check THIS general clearance of asbestos from the Australian Government.
Well, as you follow the guides above, i think you can minimizing the risks, but you have to know that every DIY projects including the DIY asbestos removal are still danger and need a professional company to handle. See you soon and keep always safe!!!
