Asbestos awareness
Asbestos: home renovators beware
Australia's widespread use of asbestos has left a legacy of asbestos-containing material in our built environment. Almost every home built or renovated before 1990 contains some form of asbestos building material.
Making people aware of where in their homes they could find asbestos is important given the number of do-it-yourself home renovators. It is also important that people understand what to do having established where it is.
SafeWork SA has made available two asbestos safety segments(external site) filmed as part of the Master Builders Association of South Australia's 'Building Ideas' TV program in 2012 and 2013.
