Many building have asbestos, as these were used for thermal system insulation, spray-applied flame retardant and various other purposes. Living in a home with the whole asbestos does not essentially pose a health danger. Most of the people who suffer from the asbestos related major health problems are mainly exposed to the matter over long periods of time, like workers in industries and factories that manufactures the asbestos products. Sometimes the asbestos materials in house get worse over time or disturbed and damaged when the asbestos fibers are released in the air. After their release these fibers especially the small, unseen variety of asbestos if breathed by the person can cause various serious diseases. It mainly causes the lung cancer and mesothelioma.

 

Hence, Asbestos Removal is very important as it causes the disease named as Asbestosis which is a lasting scarring of the lung tissue. There are many companies which provide Asbestos Removal services Melbourne as well as testing services in Asbestos Victoria. If the removal is to be done when users are still there in the building or in a house, it is generally essential to move some users on a temporary basis.

 

Process of removing asbestos:

 

·         The part of the house or building from which the asbestos are being removed has to be sealed for preventing the contamination of the other places. Some ways old sealing off a place mainly includes the duct tape, polyethylene film and pessimistic air pressure machines which are fixed along with HEPA filters.

 

·         A particular vacuum cleaner that is meant for asbestos containment can be carefully used when clean-up throughout and subsequent to removal of asbestos.

 

·         If the building or house is closed to the normal users then it might be important to seal it off from the exterior atmosphere so that no nearby air is contaminated.

 

·         The house or building which contains asbestos and is to be torn down might have to be sealed and to remove its asbestos in a safe manner, then before it normal demolition can be performed. The process of removing of asbestos might take longer time and more price sometimes as compare to the actual demolition.

 

Some new ways are also used for Industrial asbestos removal now a days. For removing asbestos in industries a track mounted wet harsh saw with a diamond blade was taken in use for cutting the building into the tiny sections. Then these tiny sections were doubled into the plastic, the minimum necessity when transporting asbestos matter and drive to a landfill. This technique not only contained the asbestos material in the gunite and metal layers of the walls, but also kept back the workers at a secure space since the saw was controlled remotely.

 

Moreover, in workplace the employees should not at all be anticipated to handle the removal of asbestos or take part in any destruction that could bother asbestos materials. Same like is with asbestos in the home, any asbestos should be handled by licensed asbestos companies and professionals who are well trained in abatement, testing, management as well as in the disposal of toxic material.
