Advocacy Australia and Asbestos Education Committee asbestos awareness tool

The Advocacy Australia and Asbestos Education Committee asbestos awareness tool is designed to educate about asbestos risks and how to manage them safely.

The ‘Asbestos in Homes: A Guide to Identification, Testing and Removal’ 20-minute video helps to educate those who own or work on homes built prior to 1990 about the risks of asbestos when renovating, demolishing or maintaining properties.

The video discusses asbestos safety as well as the legalities and the simple steps people should take for asbestos inspections and removal so they know how to protect themselves, their families, tradespeople and anyone else who might be at risk of exposure.

It features industry leaders such as Asbestos Awareness Ambassador Cherie Barber; Bret Baker, President of the Asbestos & Hazmat Removal Contractors Association of NSW; John Batty, President of the Asbestos & Hazardous-Materials Consultants Association; and Mathew Klintfält, homeowner and renovator who continues the work of his late mother Carol Klintfält OAM in asbestos awareness advocacy.
