The dangers of the substance are common knowledge. And knowledge is power, in this case, more so than most: the power to save lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this in mind, we\u2019d like to give you some basic information on the dangers of asbestos, where it can be found and what you can do to avoid it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What are the different types of asbestos?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are two types of asbestos:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Friable (Class A): crushed or in a dust form, such as paper backing on vinyl or pipe lagging<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Non-friable (Class B): found in bonded products such as cement sheet and guttering.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Why is it so dangerous?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inhaling asbestos fibres can cause a range of irreversible damage and diseases. Damage may occur in as little as five years or as long as 40-50 years later. Many people will not realise they have been exposed until it\u2019s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Where can it be found?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Approximately one third of all homes in Australia contain asbestos products. On 31st December 2003 asbestos was banned in Australia. Therefore any building constructed up until then has a high probability of containing asbestos. Remember, if you\u2019re planning to renovate or partially demolish a building, have a survey done first to identify if asbestos containing material is present. If it is, contact your local Licensed asbestos removalist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is tere a safe way to dispose of asbestos?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes \u2013 as long as strict guidelines are followed. Bagging and wrapping asbestos pieces is essential in any sort of removal \u2013 and dumping asbestos-containing materials can only be done on authorised sites. We advise you to leave this to the Licensed asbestos removalists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What more can you do?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recognition means everything when it comes to asbestos. From sticking up posters on-site to equipping your team with knowledge of asbestos dangers through the HazardCo app, educating your workers could be the difference between life and death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many asbestos awareness and training courses available online and face to face for further education and training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Got Questions? Reach out to the HazardCo Health and Safety Advisory Support Team on 1800 954 702 to talk it over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Asbestos Resources<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong>WorkSafe
