Before we begin the Asbestos Removal Process, the best way would be to buy any approved asbestos plastic bag and send the sample to test.
If the results positive, you should continue the next step.
The next steps make sure asbestos-containing material is removed safely, that this removal process provides a clean environment, and that asbestos removal jobs meet or exceed Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) requirements for asbestos removal in Vancouver.
Each step ensures the health and safety of our workers and others enter the removal area after abatement.
Step 1: Starting an Asbestos Containment
Safe asbestos removal process should begin with, cover the areas where we need to do the work, which is a place with asbestos containing materials.
It is important to cover the contaminated surface with 6 mil plastic sheeting. Plastic sheets keep dust and asbestos fibers from getting into another room or area structure.
Control zone really should be configured to fulfill the specific needs during the removal of asbestos. You really should pay special attention to windows, doors, countertop, cabinets, sink, shower and tub to ensure that no asbestos dust can contact any of the accessories.
Once the formation of a buffer zone, check the seal attached to be sure that asbestos fibers cannot escape from the containment area.
Then put HEPA machine turned negative three stages in the work area and installation of air duct cleaning production. Negative HEPA filter machines that have been stored in the exhaust pipe and clean air out, while trapping airborne particles of asbestos vacuum filter.
Finally, we make sure that all asbestos removal tools and equipment with a bit of work in place prepared to be used in place of control.
Step 2: Wearing equipment such as a Respirator and Protective Suit
Before we begin asbestos removal work, we MUST wear protective clothing made of material called Tyvek. Additionally you MUST wear a great respirator for asbestos removal and material must be of high quality.

• Serged seams, attached hood, front zipper closure, elastic wrists, and attached boots.
• Inherent barrier protection against dry particulate hazards.
• Applications range between agriculture to spray painting to lead remediation.
• Even after abrasions, stops microporous particles much better than other reusable garments.
• The very best balance of protection, durability and comfort.

• Use for mold remediation in accordance with US-EPA Guidelines and sanding and scraping lead-based paint
• For workplace/occupational applications only
• Assists in easing exposure to mold spores and odors
• Important educational information included
• NIOSH approved: P1oo
Step 3: Closed Entry to Work Area and Start Negative Air Machine
Close and secure the entry to the work area before you begin to remove asbestos-containing material. After the asbestos removal process begins, no unauthorized person shall be allowed enter in the work area.
Before removing any asbestos-containing material, turn on the three-stage HEPA negative air machine. Make sure the air ducts installed on the machine are running to the outside.
Step 4: Asbestos Removal Bags As Asbestos Removal Proceeds
Depending on type of material being removed, put the removed material in containers.
As you remove asbestos containing material, you should spray the material with water amended with an approved surfactant.
Once the material is wet on all sides, we put the material in double bags 6 mil thick. Then we seal each bag assembly conforming with requirements before we begin filling another bag.
Step 5: Clean Area after Asbestos Removed
After finished successfully removing the asbestos-containing material, you MUST clean the abated area with HEPA vacuum cleaners and clean wet rags.
At the same time, you must get rid of the cleaning rags in double 6-mil bags in much the same that we disposed of the asbestos-containing material.
Step 6: Dispose Your Protective Clothing
After the job, you should remove the protective tyvek suit and dispose of the tyvek suit in a double plastic bag and seal the bag.
