Asbestos Abatement Manager
Asbestos abatement manager oversee lead abatement workers remove asbestos, lead and other materials from buildings scheduled to be renovated or demolished. Using a variety of hand and power tools, such as vacuums and scrapers, these workers remove the asbestos and lead from surfaces.
Asbestos is one of the most common contaminants that hazardous materials removal workers encounter. Increased public awareness, along with federal and state regulations, have led to widespread removal of such hazardous materials from buildings, facilities and the environment to prevent further contamination of natural resources and to promote public health and safety.
Through the 1970s, asbestos was used to fireproof roofing and flooring and for heat insulation, among other purposes. It was a durable fire-retardant that resisted corrosion and insulated well. Embedded in materials, asbestos is fairly harmless, but when airborne, it can cause several lung diseases, including lung cancer and asbestosis.
Today, asbestos is rarely used in buildings, but there are still structures that contain the material and must be remediated.
Because of the threat of contamination, workers often wear coveralls, gloves, hardhats, shoe covers, safety glasses or goggles, chemical-resistant clothing, face shields and devices to protect their hearing. Most workers are also required to wear respirators to protect them from airborne particles or noxious gases on the job. The respirators range from simple versions that cover only the mouth and nose to self-contained suits with their own air supply.
The vacuums utilized by asbestos abatement workers have special, highly efficient filters designed to trap the asbestos, which later is disposed of or stored. During the abatement, special monitors are used to protect the workers by measuring the amount of asbestos and lead in the air. They also use monitoring devices to identify the asbestos, lead and other materials that need to be removed from the surfaces of walls and structures.
