• When intervening on an asbestos sheet, the repair must be carried out by moistening the surface
in order to minimize the release of fiber. This humidification will be carried out through water.
• An effort will be made to cut in the same direction of the wind so that the dispersion of the fibers
does not directly affect the affected worker.
6.1.2. To lower or raise asbestos material.
• For lower the plates with asbestos from the ceiling should be done between 2
workers.
• When the material is greater than 25kg, lifting must be carried out using mechanical help.

6.2. Control measures adopted to prevent the generation and dispersion of asbestos fibers
into the environment
• Before removing the asbestos material, moisten the materials with a product that prevents the
release of asbestos fibers (example: 20% vinyl latex solution).
• Clean the structure where the asbestos material was located.
To do this, use damp cloths so that no asbestos fiber remains.
• The waste generated from this cleaning must be disposed of with the rest of the waste
contaminated with asbestos, in well-sealed and labeled bags.
• The material containing asbestos (sheet, pipe, etc.) must be wrapped in plastic at least
80 microns thick or another type of wrapping, but of equal or better quality and labeled.
• The bags or other systems used must be sufficiently resistant to allow the transportation
and final disposal of this waste without breaking it.
• All disposable PPE must be placed in labeled containers and disposed of along with the rest of
the waste generated.
