What is the term for the room used to store equipment in asbestos handling?

The term "dirty room" refers to a designated area in an asbestos handling operation where contaminated equipment and materials are stored. This room is crucial for safety and compliance because it helps to contain and manage the asbestos materials to prevent the spread of harmful fibers.

By keeping contaminated items in the dirty room, workers can prevent accidental exposure and minimize health risks associated with asbestos. Additionally, the dirty room typically has protocols in place for cleaning and decontaminating gear before it is removed from the area, ensuring that all safety measures are followed.

In contrast, other terms like "clean room" are used to describe areas for clean equipment or for personal decontamination processes, but they do not serve the purpose of specifically storing contaminated items. An "equipment room" and "storage area" are more general terms and might not convey the specific context of handling hazardous materials like asbestos.
