Permitted Removal, Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Asbestos<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, made up of long thin fibres. Asbestos fibres can be dangerous if they are inhaled as dust and are known to contribute to increased risk of lung cancer, scarring of the lung tissue and cancer of the lining of the chest and the lining of the abdominal cavity.  Asbestos was commonly used as an acoustic insulator and in thermal insulation, fire proofing and other building materials. The removal and disposal of Asbestos is a complex procedure and must only be done by a contractor who has the necessary training and paperwork in order. The improper removal of Asbestos increases the risk of fibre inhalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) developed HSA Guide for Homeowners<\/a> in light of new responsibilities for homeowners under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013. The regulations apply to construction work that you pay to get done in your home. They do not apply to DIY projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No person is permitted to work with Asbestos containing materials unless they have received training and have taken all reasonable steps to prevent exposure to Asbestos. The requirement for training is detailed in Regulation 17 of the Safety Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations, 2006. It is the responsibility of the PSDP and the main contractor to ensure the works with Asbestos are carried out accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Notification Form where the planned Asbestos related work activity will expose or could expose workers to a concentration of Asbestos fibres in air in excess of the exposure limit value can be downloaded from HSA website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
