I have a house that has a few asbestos walls in it... but I know relatively little about the stuff itself. I know its pretty toxic stuff, and PE is required, but to what extent?...
If I was gonna spend a day removing a few asbestos based walls, which were made out of a concrete like hard panel sort of material which just 'snaps' rather than spreads and tears then what sort of PPE would I be looking at?...
The shits not gonna be broken, just disassembled and disposed off properly.
Im pretty sure you need a disposable boiler suite, but im more talking about the mask side of things, is there a certain micron level thats acceptable or what?... and again im not talking about in the workplace either which is 10000000x more anal than when your doing it yourself. I have a professional sprayers mask for spraying cars, and I would have thought if the mark type would protect a professional for a lifetime then it would be good for filtering normal air if its just dusty shit?
I realise I should go to a professional or rent proper stuff, but is it all really required? I dont have £££... thoughts
