Asbestos vacuum cleaner, Class H imperative but not only ...
Class H vacuum cleaners can be used for asbestos removal from premises.
These vacuum cleaners have a
minimum H13 asbestos
filtration requirement.
Asbestos dust can only be collected with a
class H vacuum cleaner and
specifically dedicated to this use .
This means in particular that the latter must be equipped with a safety bag, flow control and unclogging alarm.
Be careful not to confuse with
professional vacuum cleaners with a Hepa H13 filter, but therefore the context of use is mainly the cleaning of premises, avoiding any harmful release into the atmosphere.
This makes sense in particular with recent pandemics including Covid19 and recommendations from the Ministry of Labor in this direction.
"Do not vacuum the floors, except after a long period of unoccupied premises. In this case, equip the device with HEPA filters." Nilfisk Alto and Numatic are two manufacturers offering professional solutions for this activity.
In the context of suction of highly harmful dangerous dust, international regulations require special equipment
for the suction of dangerous class H dust (carcinogenic dust such as asbestos).
Nilfisk and Numatic offer you a vacuum cleaner corresponding to class H standards for each request and each application.
Personal equipment is also essential with a combination of category III type 4/5/6 asbestos risk.
