Asbestos Removal – A Big Deal or Not?

Recently according to a Brooklyn news article; a citizen’s union in Brooklyn, New York, used a coffin to urge fellow citizens to act against the appointment of substandard services for asbestos removal. While viewers debated left and right whether setting up a coffin on the sidewalk to signify death by asbestos was an appropriate move, the real issue found itself buried. However, some people did raise their opinion on the issue clearly and through this, we can judge whether the removal of asbestos is as big an issue as people make it out to be and therefore, whether the methods used by asbestos removal companies to save costs are justifiable.

While it is obvious that asbestos is a dangerous fiber, one needs to remember that people can often blow an issue out of proportion. At the same time, there are certain groups of people who simply fail to acknowledge the potency of the fiber. , no matter how severe the situation, they might not take the appropriate steps required to clear it up. Asbestos, depending on the amount and the space that it affects, one can make a call on whether the situation is serious or not.  All the same, the removal of asbestos is necessary no matter how small the fiber is.  However a trained and certified inspector should be used to recommend containment for the safety of all.

Now that we have established our stand on the severity issue, we can tackle the issue of asbestos removal companies. Very often, asbestos removal companies hire contractors or do not have employee’s that do not belong to any unions, as a means to save on labor costs. There is no problem associated with the hiring of non-union contractors by itself. If the company can provide them with appropriate training in asbestos removal. However, the problem arises when the company hires these workers and does not bother with the training. As a result, the lives of the citizens as well as the employee’s are in danger. As most of us know the symptoms from Asbestos exposure can take decades to show up.

Thus, the silent protest by the Brooklyn citizens is justifiable if the asbestos removal contractors did not have sufficient training provided by the company, as it was a serious hazard to their lives.
