Asbestos contractors target homeless, other vulnerable people

Asbestos contractors target homeless, other vulnerable people

'The workers had no training, no protective gear, no water to wet the crumbly asbestos and no leak-proof bags in which to dispose of it. Some did the work dressed in flip-flops, T-shirts and shorts.'

If you need to remove asbestos a properly fitted FFP3 dust mask and type 5 coveralls are required.

HSE have published a guidance sheet on asbestos removal and personal protective equipment (EM6).

Asbestos removal kits including PPE and UN disposal sacks are available to buy at DustMasksDirect.co.uk.
