Asbestos removal is the process of identifying and eliminating asbestos-containing materials from buildings. Asbestos was commonly used in building products, such as insulation, flooring, and ceiling tiles, until it was discovered that exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious health problems.

Asbestos removal involves a strict set of protocols to ensure the safety of the workers, the public, and the environment. The process includes:

1. Identifying the location and type of asbestos-containing materials through a survey.
2. Developing a plan for safe removal and disposal of the materials.
3. Using protective equipment and gear to prevent exposure to asbestos fibers.
4. Removing asbestos-containing materials from the building.
5. Disposing of the materials in a safe and legal manner, such as at an approved hazardous waste disposal facility.
