Health and Safety First
Asbestos
is generally found in older buildings and is a natural mineral that was used in
construction due to its ability to withstand chemicals, wear and high
temperatures. Asbestos can be found in many areas of the home or commercial
building. Examples of products asbestos can be found in are:
Despite asbestos durability, it has become common knowledge
that regular exposure to this mineral offers serious health concerns. Health
Canada has stated that asbestos exposure has been associated with health
problems when the fibers are in the air that people breath. The asbestos fibers
will lodge in lungs and can scar lung tissue. This health implication can lead
to impaired lung function and fatal lung cancer.
Protect Yourself,
Your Clients and Tenants
While products that are used today that contain asbestos
have been made to contain the mineral more effectively, age can slowly
deteriorate a product, leaving your family susceptible to breathing air tainted
with asbestos fibers. While some homeowners believe that asbestos removal is a
problem they can handle on their own, it is highly recommended to seek the
professional services of a bonded
asbestos
removalist. In fact, asbestos removal can be highly dangerous and is not a
"do-it-yourself” project. Asbestos are most damaging during the following
removal activities:
-
lifting and removing old vinyl floors
-
replacing old pipe insulation
-
ceiling renovations
-
any drilling or sanding of asbestos material
-
ripping or tearing any type of insulation
Unless these activities are handled with
professional care, your clients,
employees or tenants can be exposed to the dreadful and highly dangerous
natural mineral.
