Section 70
Disposition versions
70. (Replaced, O.C. 501-2011)Conveyors and transfer points, loading and unloading of asbestos concentrate: Any outdoor conveyor used for transporting asbestos ore or asbestos tailings and their transfer points must be completely enclosed and connected to a dust collector whose asbestos fibre emissions comply with the standard established in section 69.
This section does not apply however to stacker-conveyors which discharge asbestos tailings on dumps.
Where the loading of asbestos concentrates in trucks, cars or ships or its unloading brings about dust emissions which can be seen more than 2 m from the emission source, the person responsible for this contamination source must take the necessary measures so that the loading and unloading points are enclosed in a place equipped with ducts for collecting dust into a dust collector, in order that asbestos fibre emissions comply with the standard established in section 69.
