OUTLINE

 

Although asbestos is now essentially banned in Australia, asbestos containing materials have been used throughout industry for many decades and hence there is a large technical, political and legal legacy. This seminar will present an overview of the current state of knowledge and important occupational and environmental aspects of this issue.

The seminar will cover:

  • description of asbestos related diseases,
  • quantification of risks from asbestos exposure,
  • identification in bulk samples and air monitoring techniques,
  • discussion of control and removal programs and techniques,
  • understanding the approaches of removal contractors and consultants, and
  • associated legislative and compensation requirements.
