Guide to asbestos

If you're going to work with asbestos, it's important to follow a number of concrete steps to ensure both health and legal compliance:

Identification of asbestos-containing materials: The first step is a preliminary investigation. All materials suspected of containing asbestos must be tested or treated as containing asbestos until proven otherwise.
Delimitation of the workspace: The area where asbestos work is to be carried out must be clearly marked and cordoned off to prevent the spread of fibres. Only authorised personnel should have access.
Use of protective equipment: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as respiratory protection, safety glasses and dust-proof suits when working with asbestos. This is especially important when removing or handling damaged materials.
Disposal of asbestos waste: All waste must be packed in closed and properly labelled containers before being transported to an approved landfill site.

Who should follow the Danish Working Environment Authority's guidance on asbestos?

The Danish Working Environment Authority's guidance applies to anyone working with or handling asbestos-containing materials, including:

Private individuals: If you're planning minor renovation work where asbestos may be present, it's crucial to know the applicable rules and restrictions. For example, private individuals are only allowed to carry out minor tasks that do not involve demolition or major interventions.
BusinessesAll companies working with asbestos must obtain authorisation and follow specific requirements such as drawing up work plans and using certified employees.
Professionals: Craftsmen, plumbers and roofers who may come into contact with asbestos during their work must undergo mandatory training and authorisation.

Companies are also required to have a quality management system and continuously monitor their work to ensure proper compliance with the asbestos rules.
