Subject: Transport of waste containing free asbestos

Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: 4.1.4

Content of the Annex to the Directive: Packing instruction P002

Content of the national legislation: Transport of waste containing free asbestos (UN No 2212 ASBESTOS, AMPHIBOLE (amosite, tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, crocidolite) or UN No 2590 ASBESTOS, CHRYSOTILE) from construction sites:

  • the waste is transported in tipper lorries,

  • the waste is packaged in large ‘ container bags ’ – folding bags of the dimensions of the tipper bed – that are closed tight so as to prevent asbestos fibres escaping during transport,

  • the container bags are designed to withstand the stresses encountered under normal transport conditions and during unloading at the landfill site,

  • the other conditions that apply under the ADR are fulfilled.

These transport conditions appear particularly suited to the transport of large quantities of waste produced by roadworks or asbestos removal from buildings. The conditions are also suited to the final storage of the waste at approved landfill sites and offer greater ease of loading and therefore better protection of workers from the asbestos compared with the conditions applicable under the P002 packing instruction in chapter 4.1.4 of the ADR.
