What is the purpose of disposable coveralls during asbestos removal?

Disposable coveralls are specifically designed to protect workers during hazardous tasks, such as asbestos removal. The primary purpose of these coveralls is to provide fiber-resistant clothing that effectively restricts the penetration of asbestos dust and fibers. Asbestos is a known carcinogen, and even small amounts of exposure can pose serious health risks. The coveralls act as a barrier, preventing the inhalation or skin contact with hazardous materials.

By using disposable coveralls, workers minimize the risk of carrying asbestos fibers outside the contaminated area, thus protecting themselves and others. The design and materials used in disposable coveralls are tailored to ensure they are effective at containing and preventing the spread of harmful dust, ensuring the safety of both workers and the surrounding environment.
