For materials that break easily when you apply regular hand pressure and might release asbestos fibers, you need to hire a licensed asbestos removal specialist. An authorized asbestos inspector should also oversee the air quality during removal and check everything is safe when it’s done.
When dealing with bonded asbestos materials covering more than 10 square meters, it’s crucial to hire either a Class B or Class A licensed asbestos removal specialist. An experienced person or licensed asbestos inspector must thoroughly check that the area is safe after removal and provide a report.
For friable asbestos materials, you need to actively monitor the air quality during removal and afterward. It’s also a good idea to do air quality checks for Class B non-friable asbestos removal, especially near public areas or other workers, to make sure the dust control measures are working. An experienced expert should oversee the air monitoring process.
Opira can help with asbestos surveys, managing asbestos removal projects, air quality monitoring, and building asbestos surveys to ensure high safety and compliance standards.
