HAZARDOUS WASTE : ROLE-PLAYERS AND ISSUES

The packaging and transport of hazardous waste is a matter of great concern at all levels.

Elected officials, local government authorities, construction companies, transporters and waste disposal sites have to deal with :

  • health and environmental issues
  • regulatory obligations
  • technical requirements

All this while improving waste management processes and making them cost-effective.

In addition, they often have additional needs. We believe therefore that tailored support and broader solutions are essential for their success.

WHICH CONTAINERS FOR WHICH SITES?

The choice of container bags is essential in the case of high-risk work, to protect people and the environment.

Workers must have waterproof, compliant and practical packaging to facilitate material handling and worksite progress.

 

Some examples of interventions requiring reliable and efficient container bags :

  • Asbestos removal
  • Deconstruction / decontamination of structures or buildings
  • Handling of disaster waste
  • Dredging operations
  • Decontamination of polluted sites
  • Maintenance of industrial sites

CÉVALIA APPROVAL, A SAFETY GUARANTEE

The first LINERBENNE container bags, incorporating the innovative-patented system, have been approved by CEVALIA, an official body.
They are the ONLY flexible containers for asbestos waste thus approved.
CEVALIA’s approval recognizes their watertightness and resistance to the risks involved. It is therefore a guarantee for both designers and users.ue les utilisateurs.
Since the approval, LINERBENNE has equipped its new models with these innovations.

THE CÉVALIA COMMISSION

Created in 2017, the Cévalia Commission operates within the framework of the Ministry of Housing’s Asbestos Research and Development Plan. It evaluates technical innovations related to asbestos. In particular, it verifies that innovations meet worker protection criteria. Referral to this commission is voluntary. Each company is free to submit its products to it or not.

ASBESTOS = DANGER

Asbestos is the cause of serious pathologies, cancers in particular. The real danger of asbestos particles comes when they are very small, small enough to bypass the respiratory filtration system and reach deep into the lungs, causing damage and scarring.

Any opening, even a tiny one, in a receptacle can therefore cause considerable damage.

REGULATIONS

The law imposes obligations on all those managing asbestos. They concern the intervention procedures and the equipment used. In the event of non-compliance, the responsibility of decision-makers (local government authorities, companies, project owners, project managers, etc.) may be engaged.
At the same time, jurisprudence is evolving towards increased protection for people exposed to asbestos.
The duty to manage asbestos is a legal requirement under the decree of 11 December 2018, that concerns in particular the transport of waste from road or demolition works or the rehabilitation of damaged buildings contaminated by unrelated asbestos.
