Think Twice About Asbestos

National Asbestos Awareness Week begins today. This year, we’re asking you to think twice about asbestos. Asbestos causes cancer and is still in 1 in 3 Aussie homes. Prevent the risk of exposure to asbestos and find out how to be safe.

Before you start any work around the house, check if your home was built before 1990. If so, it can contain asbestos.

Asbestos can be in many locations including external and internal walls, bathrooms, toilets and laundries, kitchens, roofs, fences, and garages. Don’t risk your health or someone else’s by disturbing asbestos.

Call a licensed asbestos professional if you aren’t trained to locate, manage or remove it.
