The Asbestos, Silica Safety and Eradication Agency has generated useful information regarding asbestos in the workplace. Even though asbestos has been banned in Australia since December 2003, it was used in over 3,000 products and can be found in many public and residential buildings, and other materials, built or renovated before 1990. Therefore, Asbestos is still very present across Australia. It is imperative to remove asbestos with as absolute minimum exposure to fibres as possible. There is no known safe level of exposure.
On this website you can find all the information you need to know about asbestos safety for trades and construction workers, how to find out if a building or structure contains asbestos, what rules apply to asbestos in workplace, and asbestos assessors and removal.
