Or you could just replace the old asbestos strip with new. That was one of my shutdown jobs as an apprentice, went round with about 3 or 4 different sized rolls of white asbestos strip, to suit the fuse holder size's. Probably won't be asbestos now, but a substitute material... When you think about it and listen to all the scaremongering that goes on about the old white asbestos flash suppression strips, i should be well and truly long gone by now!!
Aye well ................. they weren't made in China, Malaysia or India. They were made in Great Britain when Britain WAS Great and we actually MADE things and we made them well !!
Yep .. it's all about everything in moderation.
My Dad used asbestos to make gaskets in his job as a maintenance fitter at a chemical plant but this was not an everyday task & he servived to be 74 years old.
I used asbestos to make gaskets for model and full-sized steam locomotives in my hobby and so far am still here.
My Mother's uncle used it all day and everyday in his work as a power station lagger and he died before the age of 60.
We used to eat the flash pads For breakfast now we can't even open a board containing asbestos,If were doing an EICR we have to Give it a code 1 and if they want the board changing we get a specialist asbestos company to remove it
According to the posters 6 electrician die every week from asbestos, had one of those tool box talks on it
