I'm tweaking at the moment because we just recently removed my kitchen tiles. Now the concerning thing is we had to saw the floor into rectangular pieces and then use a crow bar to remove it. At the bottom of everything were those asbestos lookin tiles. My house was built in 1957. That saw created a lot of dust and we were working about 4 hours. I didn't think about the asbestos risk until we were nearly finished. My worry is if I'll be ok or should I be worried. This was a one time exposure for me personally
What I don't understand is they really try to contain it when having to handle some but when an old building is gonna be tore down they just ram the shovel in with an excavator till the place crashes down building materials paint over mitts hydro cable ceiling tiles outside wall tiles lol
Old light fixtures have asbestos covered exposed wires and the foil backing insulator stuff is 80% asbestos... I just foujd this out after exposing self in a slum-lord attic apartment :'(
In 2003 it was discovered I was sanding gaskets contains asbestos in Bombardier Transportation in Crewe. They told us not to worry it was the safe one (can’t remember which colour)... after it was discovered all gasket sanding was carried out in a huge sealed tent that had an airlock. Workers had to wear space suits and had to shower after leaving the work area inside the air lock....yet it was the safe asbestos?
How are you doing after being exposed? Just found out I might have been exposed. Im not sure from where and when. I used to do maintenance work 6 years ago
