Depending on how and where asbestos was applied, it might not pose a risk to most users of the building. If the fibers cannot be dislodged, they cannot be inhaled, and thus the asbestos poses no risk. However, some methods of applying asbestos, particularly flocking, allow asbestos fibers to gradually drop off into the air. Asbestos can be particularly hazardous to maintenance personnel who have to drill holes in walls for installation of cables or pipes. Even if the workers are protected, such maintenance operation may release fibers into the air, which may be inhaled by others. Interventions in areas where asbestos is present often have to follow stringent procedures and our trained professionals at Hazclean are well versed in these procedures. |
