Abatement and History of Asbestos Gaskets

When removing old gasket asbestos sheetpacking from pipes and machinery, abatement workers must follow the following points: gaskets should be removed intact whenever possible. Gaskets that are deteriorated need to be removed within a glove bag. Gaskets must be immediately placed in a disposal container. All scraping needs to be performed wet. In addition to adhering to the requirements mentioned above, it is important that any worker handling asbestos wear the appropriate protective gear. Workers should wear an air-purifying half-mask respirator and adequate work suit. Once work is completed, work suits must be vacuumed with a HEPA vacuum, and the employee should shower in a designated decontamination area.
