Again, held in Asbestos Awareness Week 2023, this safety session aimed to equip homeowners and DIYers with more knowledge about where asbestos containing materials are commonly found in homes, how to manage them, safe methods for cleaning these materials and information about removing and disposing of up to 10m2 of non-friable asbestos.
This webinar was held during Asbestos Awareness Week 2023 to educate businesses about where asbestos containing materials are commonly found in commercial and industrial buildings, reveal the compliance issues auditors most commonly encounter when they conduct site visits, and give an overview of the legislative requirements regarding the management of asbestos containing materials for businesses operating out of premises built prior to 1990.
Asbestos Awareness Week is held nationally in November to increase awareness of the risks of working and living with asbestos containing materials. It aims to drive behavioural and attitudinal change about the importance of work health and safety measures regarding these materials, and educate the community about how to safety live alongside these products.
A statewide asbestos management audit of business premises constructed before 1990 will start on 1 September 2023. Make sure you are keeping your workers safe.
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland will host a free live streamed asbestos safety session during Asbestos Awareness Week to deliver important safety messages.
