Asbestos Ceiling Removal
Asbestos Ceiling Removal is very common in New Zealand as prior to the 1990s Asbestos Textured Ceilings were commonly used in Homes. Asbestos Ceiling Removal is considered a Class A Removal, Safety 1st Removals is a Class A Removalist approved by Worksafe NZ to undertake Asbestos Ceiling Removals.
Asbestos Ceiling Removals can happen in 2 different ways one way is the most common way. Asbestos Ceiling Removal by Scraping, John Kerr of Safety 1st Removals Ltd explains that this is the most common way for Asbestos Ceiling Removals as most people are renovating. First part of Asbestos Ceiling Removal is to get the textured tested so you understand what you are dealing with. Second stage of Asbestos Ceiling Removal is to engage someone like John Kerr and Safety 1st Removals Ltd. We will come into property and advise the Homeowner on the method that we use for Asbestos Ceiling Removal.
First part is our trained Removalists for Safety 1st Removals Ltd in Asbestos Ceiling Removals will encapsulate the whole removal in 200 micron thick plastic. We use Duct Tape/ Staples to hold up the Plastic on the Walls and ground to make sure during the Asbestos Ceiling Removal that no Asbestos Texture drops in between the plastic onto the ground and contaminate the House. We use two covers of plastic to encapsulate the area during the Asbestos Ceiling Removal process as one is what we call a Sacrificial layer
The Sacrificial layer in the Asbestos Ceiling Removal Process explains John Kerr from Safety 1st Removals Ltd is basically the drop sheet which when the process of scraping begins the Texture will drop into. Once the Sacrificial layer is up in the Asbestos Ceiling Removal Process all workers will check the integrity of each layer making sure joins are seamless. Once they are happy that the plastic enclosure for the Asbestos Ceiling Removal has been visibly checked by the Asbestos Workers from Safety 1st Removals Ltd.
Then they will then create a 3 stage Decontamination Units. As scraping during the Asbestos Ceiling Removal Process can be quite messy as Asbestos Fibres are disturbed during the Asbestos Ceiling Removal. The 3 Stage Decontamination Units as described by John Kerr of Safety 1st Removals is our 3 Stage Controls of making sure their is no Contamination during the Asbestos Ceiling Removal Process.
Stage 1 of the Decontamination Units entering from the outside into the Removal Area says John Kerr of Safety 1st Removals Ltd is known as the Dry Area. The Dry Area is the place in the Asbestos Ceiling Removal Process that is the clean area of the process and is the area which transitions the Worker cleanly during the Asbestos Ceiling Removal Process into the non contaminated area.
As you can see in the Asbestos Ceiling Removal Process the Controls that have been put in place are controlled and deliberately prescribed and researched as the the best methods to keep the homeowner safe.
The second part of the Asbestos Ceiling Removal process as described by John Kerr will be explained in the Next blog.
