A process whereby asbestos or contaminated material is removed from an area by setting up containment facilities to remove it safely without contaminating the surround areas. There are various levels of procedures, however in general there are four main requirements:
Respiration protection for the workers
Polyethelene suits for the workers to prevent carrying material away on clothing
Tarps to protect surrounding environment
Protection with poly and proper disposal of material
There are other requirements that may be implemented depending upon the severity of contamination:
Air monitoring
Negative air units to create negative pressure within the containment facility
Showers for workers to clean themselves off afterwards
