Asbestos Awareness Month 2017

Each year November is celebrated as Asbestos Awareness Month. It aims to educate Australians about the dangers of asbestos in and around homes. Imbedded asbestos fibres irritate lung tissue around them, causing a number of diseases. Asbestos related diseases can take many years to develop and often have dangerous consequences

In Australia, we have one of the highest rates of asbestos-related diseases in the world.

Get involved this November by:

• Informing the community of the risks of asbestos
• Participating in interactive workshops
• Attending the asbestos summit in Canberra
• Raising awareness on social media
• Volunteering
