Waste removal specifically related to asbestos
The legacy of asbestos causing diseases have plagued South Africa as in the 1970’s South Africa was the world’s 3rd largest asbestos producer and exporter. Workers in such asbestos mines and the transport workers that carried the material suffered health complications due to the toxicity of asbestos. Not only were people’s lives affected by this, environmental contamination also occurred.
With the banning of asbestos and subsequent legislation, the last of the asbestos mines ceased production in 2001 and closed in 2002. Unfortunately, many buildings and structures in South Africa and beyond still contain asbestos which pose a health and environmental threat, and subsequently a rise in the need of asbestos waste removal contractors arose. These contractors have to be approved, regulated and required to adhere to standards and guidelines in order to exist. Zendasat is one such contractor.
