Asbestos-Contaminated Soil Management is crucial to address soil contamination or pollution caused by asbestos, a significant part of land degradation. Work involving asbestos-contaminated soil is permitted either as asbestos-related work or asbestos removal work. There are several common reasons for asbestos to be present in the soil:
Asbestos contamination in soil is a problem that is often overlooked, posing a health and safety risk for all parties involved, as well as our environment. The asbestos fibres can’t break down, meaning they will remain in the soil indefinitely. Asbestos contamination management differs from other contaminants due to the nature of the material and the potential risk of fibre inhalation. The main aim of asbestos management is to prevent the generation of airborne fibres.
