We are delighted to share that the European Decontamination Institute has released a comprehensive new guide titled How to Decontaminate Asbestos.
This publication serves as a valuable resource for professionals involved in renovation, demolition, and decontamination projects across Europe and provides a detailed overview of asbestos management, covering every stage from identification and risk assessment to safe removal, transport, and disposal.
Our aim with this guide is to promote safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility by highlighting the latest European regulations and industry best practices, and offer step-by-step recommendations to help companies and workers manage asbestos-containing materials safely and effectively, minimizing health risks to both professionals and the general public.
About the guide
Asbestos was widely used in construction and industry for many years due to its remarkable strength, durability, and insulating qualities. However, when materials containing asbestos are damaged or disturbed, they can release tiny fibers into the air that present serious health risks to both workers and the general public.
For anyone involved in renovation, demolition, or decontamination activities, it is vital to understand what asbestos is, where it may be located, and the potential hazards it poses when improperly handled.
If you are interested in learning more about the guide, bear in mind that it is openly available for everyone by filling the request-for-content form. Read more and access the publication How to decontaminate Asbestos.
