Asbestos Roof Tile: Steps To Avoid Health Hazards
Asbestos rooftile is basically an Asbstos contaminated roofing material.
It is made up of natural minerals that are fiberous in nature.Fiberous
quality of Asbestos was considered useful in various building materials. For
example—Pipe insulation,floortile, and fireproofing. Other roofing products
such as shingles,tars,pitch and roof tiles were also prepared with the help
of asbestos.
Dangers of Asbestos Roof Tile:
Asbestos roof tile are hazardous for health because asbestos particles
released from the tiles could cause respiratory health hazards.These health
hazards occur when respirable fibres are released into the air and then
inhaled in your body. Materials that contains Asbestos are divided into two
categories— Friable (able to be reduced to a powder by hand pressure) and
non-friable . Usage of Non–Friable asbestos containing materials is not that
harmful because , they do not release dangerous asbetos fiber into the air.
This class of materials does not relase fibers unless you impact them
mechanically with the help of tools, drills and saws.
Protection Steps:
Five steps of protection are helpful to prevent asbestos fiber release
during removal of asbestos roof tile. At the first step, roofing materials
must be mixed with non-friable materials (tar, pitch, asphalt). This mixing
hardens the asbestos fibers, prevents their release, and avoids inhalation.
The second step includes the safe methods of removal wherein only hand made
tools like shovels and hammers are used to strip the roofing material from
the building. Third step recommends that asbestos should be made wet before
disturbing it. Fourth step of protection covers how the materials are
handled during and after removal. Fifth step says that workers removing the
roofing materials should be trained and certified in accordance with an EPA
recognized training program.
Regulations for Asbestos Roof tile Removal:
According to OSHA regulations all persons working with asbestos containing
materials should wear respiratory and other personal protection equipment
during the removal process. There are diffrent state and even federal
regulations that regulate the removal of asbetsos roof tiles and other
asbestops containing materials.
