People still aren’t getting the hint about asbestos, apparently.
So, in yet another push to build awareness around the deadly substance, WorkSafeBC is again urging owners of pre-1990s homes to talk to their contractor about asbestos before starting home renovations or a demolition.
“Asbestos is safe if left alone, but if disturbed it can cause serious health problems and even death,” says Al Johnson, Vice-President of Prevention Services for WorkSafeBC. “Today, the most common way to be exposed to asbestos is by unsafe practices during demolition and renovation of homes and buildings.”
Asbestos can be found in more than 3,000 different building materials used in homes built before 1990, according to the WorkSafe BC campaign. “It’s colourless, odourless and deadly when disturbed.”
My Mother had to put me in one of these but I kept screaming. Talk about a scary day at the hospital! This picture was taken in 1941 as part of a British air raid drill, and these gas masks for babies covered their entire bodies (except their feet?).
Asbestos scandal in the Netherlands with footholds to our country
In the Netherlands there is a stir on asbestos, which was recently discovered in the sand of the company Eurogrit. It is a “jet ride”, which is used to remove paint and rust in industrial renovations, as well as contractors and painters sandblast with it. The grit has been sold to companies and individuals in the Netherlands and in Belgium. The Dutch government has taken many measures, in our country the public services are no problem. https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2017/10/17/asbestschandaal-in-nederland-met-uitlopers-naar-ons-land/
