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
