The plan should schedules for its action to “regular monitoring of areas containing asbestos, define corrective actions to be implemented, including risk situations where it is necessary to apply immediate action to provide for the removal of materials containing asbestos, taking into account the protection of workers in the public sector from the risks related to exposure “to the material, according to a statement from environmentalists, released today.
The” survey “available on the portal of the Government is deemed insufficient by Quercus, “since it was not yet identified all the asbestos-containing materials, analyzes were not promoted to concentrations of respirable fibers, not assessed the risk of exposure of workers to asbestos or defined measures to prevent or minimize exposure.”
According to Quercus were not achieved the objectives of the law paragraph 2/2011 or the Obligations defined by the directives 89/391 / EEC and 2009/148 / EC, “both in current non-compliance by the Portuguese State “, referring to the legal documents related to asbestos and the need to be removed from the buildings.
Asbestos was used in construction, a few years ago, but was later banned for having established that their Inhalation may cause lung cancer.
The Quercus has urged the Government to submit a list of all public buildings with asbestos from schools to hospitals and libraries, as well as a withdrawal plan materials with substance, starting with those most urgent, i.e., where there is degradation of the construction and risk of release of particles.
