Asbestos Awareness
Asbestos and Asbestos Dust Kills
Unions continue to work towards making our workplaces and homes asbestos free. We do this by:
-
working to ensure that regulation is such that it protects workers and the community from exposure to asbestos
-
encouraging government to ensure that regulation is complied with, and to prosecute where it is not complied with
-
promoting awareness in the general community of asbestos and the dangers of exposure
-
promoting asbestos support groups to assist those who have contracted asbestos-related disease and their families
