Surepak asbestos bags are clearly printed with the warning:

The prominent warning helps identify the contents and reinforces the need for appropriate handling, storage and disposal procedures.

Using Asbestos Waste Bags

When packing asbestos waste, appropriate procedures should always be followed, including:

• Do not overfill the bag. Allow sufficient space for safe closure.
• Carefully minimise excess air in the bag without creating dust.
• Twist and securely seal the opening according to your asbestos removal procedure.
• Use appropriate adhesive tape to secure the closure.
• Use new, unused bags for asbestos waste.
• Asbestos waste should be appropriately double-bagged where required by applicable asbestos removal and disposal procedures.
• Bags marked for asbestos waste should only be used for their intended purpose.
• Follow all applicable workplace health and safety requirements for asbestos removal, transport and disposal.

Always follow the requirements applicable in your state or territory and the procedures specified by your licensed asbestos removal professional or waste contractor.

The Dangers of Asbestos Dust

Asbestos fibres can pose serious health risks when inhaled. Exposure to asbestos can lead to serious diseases, including asbestos-related cancers and other respiratory conditions, which may develop many years after exposure.

Proper containment of asbestos waste is an important part of reducing the risk of fibre release during handling, transport and disposal. Using purpose-designed, clearly labelled asbestos waste bags helps workers and others identify hazardous waste and handle it appropriately.
