What does safe handling of asbestos involve?

Handling asbestos requires specialised knowledge and care to avoid health risks. When asbestos-containing materials are damaged, dangerous fibres are released that can lead to serious health problems such as asbestosis or pleural cancer.

Basic steps for proper handling:

Identification: Check if the material contains asbestos by conducting a professional analysis.
Shielding of the workspace: Put up signs like "BEWARE! ASSAULT WORK" and provide boundaries.
Personal protective equipment: Use proper equipment such as respiratory protection and dust-proof workwear.
Cleaning and waste management: Pack asbestos waste correctly and deliver it to an authorised landfill.

Rules for handling asbestos

Strict regulations protect both workers and the environment when handling asbestos. According to The asbestos ordinance Major demolition work requires authorisation from the Danish Safety Technology Authority, while private individuals can only carry out smaller tasks.

Key points from the legislation:

Only authorised companies are allowed to carry out extensive demolition.
Smaller tasks such as removing individual roof panels can be carried out by private individuals as long as the guidelines are followed.
Asbestos waste must be properly packaged and disposed of at an authorised reception facility.

How to dispose of asbestos correctly

Asbestos disposal is essential to avoid the spread of hazardous fibres and requires attention to detail. Improper disposal can result in serious health risks and fines.

Packaging: Use dustproof and sealed packaging labelled "Contains asbestos."
Transport: Only authorised carriers may transport asbestos waste.
Landfill: Dispose of the waste at an authorised reception facility. Contact your municipality for local regulations.
