1.2 Extracting asbestos dust
After the extractor is used to extract asbestos
dust in a sealed-off area, it can no longer be
used in the white area. Exceptions are only per­
mitted if the asbestos dust extractor has been
completely decontaminated by an approved
specialist. This must be recorded in writing and
signed by the approved specialist.
Fixed filters may only be replaced in suitable
areas (e.g. decontamination stations) by an ap­
proved specialist.
The applicable national regulations (for exam­
