Floor Covering Removal (General)
Removal of carpet, vinyl, tiles and adhesive beds from floors, including ACM vinyl identification, mechanical scraping, adhesive-bed grinding and surface preparation.
Objective
Remove floor coverings safely by ensuring ACM-backed vinyl and old adhesive is never dry-stripped or machine-scraped, controlling respirable crystalline silica from adhesive-bed grinding, and managing cuts, manual handling and trips.
