In which direction should detail cleaning using scrubbers proceed when dealing with asbestos-containing materials?

Away from the work area
In the decontamination area
Towards the decontamination area
In a circular motion around the site

The correct answer is: Towards the decontamination area

When dealing with asbestos-containing materials, detail cleaning must prioritize minimizing contamination and protecting workers and the surrounding environment. Cleaning should proceed towards the decontamination area to ensure that any asbestos fibers or dust are directed away from areas that have not been processed and towards a controlled environment where they can be safely handled and contained. This method helps to contain potential asbestos exposure, allowing for a systematic approach to cleaning that mitigates the risk of spreading hazardous materials throughout the work area. By directing cleaning efforts towards the decontamination area, workers can ensure that any disturbed asbestos is effectively managed and removed from the premises in a safe and compliant manner.
