What activities are performed in the equipment room?

The activities performed in the equipment room primarily focus on safety and health regulations concerning asbestos handling. One of the critical functions of the equipment room is the removal of protective clothing and the decontamination of workers' suits after they have completed their tasks in potentially hazardous environments, such as those involving asbestos. This process ensures that any asbestos fibers that may have been collected on clothing are properly managed and do not pose a risk to workers or the general environment.

By decontaminating suits in a controlled setting, the risk of asbestos exposure is significantly reduced, promoting a safer workplace for everyone involved. This emphasizes the importance of adherence to safety protocols and highlights the role of the equipment room in maintaining worker safety during asbestos-related activities.
