| Asbestos Soil Contamination |
From a boon to a bane today, asbestos has been there for a long time as a necessary evil. While this naturally occurring fibrous mineral was once used in abundance because of its fire-resistance properties, it is a fatal health risk today for its cancer-causing characteristics. Having said that, there are some very obvious and serious precautions that must be taken while working with asbestos cement slabs or other similar substances. If cut, broken, or drilled the wrong way, the harmful asbestos fibres can be released into the air polluting it to hazardous levels. Asbestos particles are light and odourless and are easily inhaled once present in the air.

| Dispose Asbestos Waste |
You must seek help to work on and dispose asbestos waste. Hiring a demolition company with experience and equipment would be a smart move. A demolition company like ours ensures that all their workers wear respirators while working on sites and that they are accredited asbestos removers with proper training and experience. Doing it yourself leaves you vulnerable to the pollutants and on several occasions, you may not even realize that you have accidentally exposed yourself. Also, getting it done with professional help from VWD will save you from any problems with the Local Government Environmental Health Office.

| Asbestos Disposals |
Asbestos disposals need to happen at areas specially designated for it and should not be dumped in garbage bins. Also, the material should not be dry at the time of disposal as it increases the chances of exposure. All home material, furnishings, personal possessions should be covered at all times if there is a worksite nearby. Don’t allow kids or people in the vicinity until all the work is finished and wastage has been disposed methodically. Once the area has been declared safe, only then start using it after careful examination.

| Risk Mitigation |
Risk mitigation is essentially if there is asbestos contamination in the environment. As responsible citizens, protecting yourself, your family, and people around you by investing judiciously in asbestos removal services. Never compromise on the cost of waste removal as it involves running into life threatening diseases later on. VWD approaches the matter of waste disposal with utmost urgency and precision to prevent and sometimes lessen exposure. So stay safe, stay healthy!
