Asbestos garage removal carries significant risks, so you must choose a company that complies with strict regulations and safety procedures. Unfortunately, many companies don’t meet these standards. Even those that look professional often have serious health and safety issues, which they unwittingly display on their own websites.

For instance, some workers perform dangerous tasks like working on fragile roofs without proper scaffolding protection, wearing incorrect protective masks, or failing to fully cover themselves with protective suits. Even worse, some companies openly show images of raw asbestos sheets carelessly thrown into vans without proper wrapping in polyethylene.

If this is what they openly display, imagine the shortcuts they might take when no one is watching.

To stay safe, ensure that each asbestos removal operative holds up-to-date certifications, including Cat B working with asbestos training and a face fit test for their specific mask. Additionally, at least one worker on-site should have scaffolding training, like PASMA certification, and manual handling experience.

For asbestos garage removal, all asbestos sheets must be securely wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene, sealed with tape, and marked with a clear asbestos sack. These materials should then be placed into a sealed, asbestos-specific van or container for proper disposal.

By asking the right questions and demanding proof of certification and safety practices, you can protect yourself from the dangers of improper asbestos garage removal.
