Contains Blue Asbestos (Roll of 100 Labels) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to clearly identify materials or areas that contain blue asbestos, a highly hazardous form of asbestos known for its strong fibers and serious health risks. These labels serve as a vital warning to anyone handling, working near, or inspecting the material, alerting them to the presence of dangerous asbestos fibers that can cause severe respiratory illnesses, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

The primary reason to use these labels is to ensure health and safety compliance by clearly marking asbestos-containing materials. This helps prevent accidental disturbance, improper handling, or unauthorised removal of the asbestos, which could release harmful fibers into the air. It also ensures that proper safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and specialised removal procedures, are followed.

These labels are typically applied to pipes, insulation, building materials, or storage areas where blue asbestos has been identified. They are commonly used in older buildings, industrial sites, or demolition zones where asbestos may still be present or during asbestos surveys and remediation projects.

Using “Contains Blue Asbestos” labels is essential for protecting workers, occupants, and contractors by clearly communicating the hazard. They support legal compliance with occupational health regulations and contribute to safer handling, removal, and disposal of asbestos-containing materials.
