Frequently Asked Questions
01. Are Asbestos Bags required to be a certain thickness?
Only UN certified asbestos bags can be used for asbestos waste & they are certified by the asbestos waste weight that they can hold. There is a range of different asbestos removal bags ranging from 10kg bags to thicker heavy-duty 30kg bags. The heavy-duty 30kg bags are recommended to reduce the likelihood of the bag splitting & exposing dangerous asbestos fibres.
02. Are there different types of Asbestos waste Bags?
Asbestos waste bags are available for different waste weights such as 10kg, 20kg and 30kg bags ie light, medium & heavy duty asbestos removal bags.
The bags are 900mm x 600mm in size and also come in two different colours such as clear asbestos bags & red asbestos bags. The latter is slightly smaller in size.
03. What bags are required for Asbestos Waste?
General waste sacks or not allowed to be used for asbestos waste & only specific UN certified asbestos disposal bags can be used to dispose of asbestos waste. The certified bags warn that they contain dangerous asbestos waste & marked UN 2212 UN 2590. There are 2 different coloured asbestos bags required for your waste, the red asbestos bag & the clear asbestos bag. It is required that all waste is double bagged and should first be placed in the red bag & sealed. It is then double-bagged within the clear bag and sealed with tape. It is important that this is done as carefully as possible so that fibres are not released through breakage & that the bags are not overfilled to prevent splitting. Any PPE used should also be placed within the clear bag.
Due to the dangerous nature of asbestos fibres the correct asbestos PPE should be worn when removing asbestos waste.
