In this landing page, well discuss the protective equipment and clothing that our team wears when removing asbestos in Devon and the South West of England.

Asbestos and Its Dangers

Asbestos was widely used in building materials from the 1950s until the 1980s due to its fire-resistant properties. Since then, it has been banned in many countries due to its association with deadly cancers such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

Asbestos fibers are microscopic and can easily be inhaled, leading to serious health issues. Its important to hire a professional asbestos removal company to safely and effectively handle and dispose of any asbestos-containing materials in your building.

Protective Equipment and Clothing for Asbestos Removal

When removing asbestos, our team wears a variety of protective clothing and equipment to ensure their safety. This equipment includes:

Respirators

A respirator is a mask worn over the mouth and nose that filters out harmful particles in the air. The respirator must be rated for asbestos and should have a HEPA filter. This filter removes at least 99.97% of all airborne particles.

Protective Coveralls and PPE

Asbestos fibers can attach themselves to clothing, so its important that our team wears disposable protective coveralls. These coveralls should be made of non-woven fabric, which is impervious to asbestos fibers. Our team also wears gloves, shoe covers, and eye protection to prevent any asbestos fibers from entering their body.

Full-Face Masks

A full-face mask provides additional protection for the face and eyes. These masks are made of a strong polycarbonate material that can withstand impact, and theyre designed to fit tightly to the face to prevent any airborne particles from getting in.
