Asbestos on Your Skin? Don't Panic, We've Got You Covered in Devon

If you've been working with asbestos or have accidentally ingested or inhaled asbestos fibres, it's natural to worry about the potential health risks. One of the most common concerns is how to remove asbestos from skin. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're here to guide you through the process and provide expert advice on how to handle asbestos safely.

What Happens When Asbestos Fibres Come into Contact with Skin?

When asbestos fibres come into contact with your skin, they can cause irritation, itching, and redness. In some cases, the fibres can also penetrate the skin, leading to more serious health problems. However, it's essential to note that asbestos fibres are not easily absorbed through the skin, and the risk of serious health issues is relatively low if you take prompt action.

How to Remove Asbestos from Skin Safely

Removing asbestos from skin requires caution and attention to detail. Here are some steps you can follow:

  1. Wash the affected area with soap and water as soon as possible. This will help to remove any loose fibres from the skin.
  2. Use a gentle soap that doesn't contain any harsh chemicals or abrasives.
  3. Avoid using exfoliating gloves or washcloths, as these can push the fibres deeper into the skin.
  4. Rinse the affected area thoroughly with warm water.
  5. Dry the skin gently with a clean towel.

What to Do If You've Been Exposed to Asbestos

If you've been exposed to asbestos, it's crucial to take immediate action to minimize the risks. Here are some steps you can follow:

  1. Leave the contaminated area immediately and avoid touching your face or skin.
  2. Shower or bathe as soon as possible to remove any asbestos fibres from your skin and hair.
  3. Wash your clothes and any contaminated items separately from your regular laundry.
  4. Seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain.
