| What is Asbestos ? "Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. It's properties include the ability to withstand heat and electrical currents. This made it very good for protecting buildings from heat and fire."*

Who's likely to be harmed? "Repair and maintenance workers are most at risk. These people are most likely to disturb or damage asbestos containing materials and they often don't realise they are working on asbestos. The 'duty to manage' law is designed to protect these workers by requiring those poeple responsible for repair and maintenance to buildings to make sure they manage asbestos within that building."* |
