Asbestos sheeting

Asbestos sheeting must be bundled securely, and the bundles must be double wrapped in 200 micron plastic sheeting, with each bundle of sheeting sealed with adhesive tape along every lap prior to placement into the skip.

The wrapped material may be transported in a roll on roll off skip. The skip must be lined with one layer of 200 micron plastic before loading to assist the packaged asbestos to safely slide to the designated area at the disposal point.

If a roll off bin is not used, the asbestos must be double wrapped and taped as before. If unloaded manually or by mechanical means, e.g. crane, truck, etc., it must be placed into the excavation in a manner that does not allow damage or puncturing of the plastic.
