To mark National Asbestos Awareness Week the NSW Government is reminding the community that workplaces, homes and other public or commercial buildings constructed before 1990 have a good chance of containing harmful asbestos.
Minister for Better Regulation Kevin Anderson said the theme of this year’s National Asbestos Week is “think twice about asbestos, it’s in one-in-three homes” and this is a timely reminder for people to be careful when dealing with the dangerous substance.
