What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and manufacturing for its strength, durability, and heat resistance. Asbestos fibers are microscopic and can become airborne when disturbed or damaged. When these microscopic fibers are inhaled, they can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious respiratory diseases.

Asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, but any building constructed before this time may contain asbestos. If you suspect that your home or workplace may contain asbestos, it is important to have it tested by a licensed asbestos professional.

What is an Asbestos Clutch?

An asbestos clutch is a type of clutch that was commonly used in older vehicles before asbestos was banned. The clutch contains asbestos fibers, which can become airborne when the clutch is removed or replaced. Asbestos clutches were used in vehicles made before the 1980s, so if you have an older car, it may have an asbestos clutch.

Why Should You Dispose of an Asbestos Clutch?

Asbestos fibers are hazardous to human health and can cause serious respiratory diseases. If you have an asbestos clutch in your vehicle, it is important to have it removed and disposed of by a licensed asbestos removal company. Removing an asbestos clutch yourself can release dangerous asbestos fibers into the air, putting you and others at risk.

1. We take all necessary precautions to protect our employees and the environment from asbestos exposure. This includes wearing protective clothing and using specialized tools and equipment to remove the clutch.

3. We place the asbestos clutch in a specially marked container and label it as asbestos waste.

4. We transport the asbestos waste to a licensed asbestos disposal site in Sussex.

5. We dispose of the asbestos waste according to the regulations set forth by the UK government.

What Happens to the Asbestos Waste?

Once the asbestos waste is transported to the disposal site, it is treated and disposed of in accordance with UK regulations. Asbestos waste must be disposed of in a specific way to ensure that the asbestos fibers do not become airborne, causing harm to humans or the environment.

The asbestos waste is usually encapsulated or buried in a secure landfill with an impermeable barrier to prevent the fibers from escaping into the air or groundwater. The asbestos waste is monitored regularly to ensure that it is securely contained and poses no threat to human health or the environment.
