Asbestos warning print in seven languages
What it says. On the left the large warning symbol “a” with the German text, on the right six fields with the same notice in one further language each. In essence every field says the same: the contents contain asbestos, inhaling asbestos dust endangers health, the safety regulations must be observed, the container must be kept closed.
| Language | Heading on the print |
|---|---|
| German | ACHTUNG ENTHÄLT ASBEST |
| English | WARNING! CONTAINS ASBESTOS |
| French | ATTENTION CONTIENT DE L’AMIANTE |
| Dutch | VOORZICHTIG BEVAT ASBEST |
| Italian | ATTENZIONE! CONTIENE AMIANTO |
| Spanish | ATENCION CONTIENE AMIANTO |
| Portuguese | ATENÇAO CONTÉM AMIANTO |
Why it is done this way. An asbestos sack travels from the building site via haulage, transshipment and interim storage to the disposal facility, often across borders and through changing hands. The print warns everyone in their own language and states the most important rules of conduct without an accompanying slip being necessary. The data sheets of these items cite TRGS 519 as the standard reference. Which labelling is binding for your disposal route is determined by hazardous-substance law, waste law and your waste disposal company.
