BUILDING
WORKERS RISK OF EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS
In 2007
Australia lost one of its best campaigners against Asbestos – Bernie
Banton. He died as a result of having developed mesothelioma – a
resultant disease of asbestosis.
Building
workers by the very nature of their job, and particularly those in the
demolition industry, need to be aware of the perils of asbestos, and its
resulting diseases. Having an attitude of ‘it won’t happen to me’ is
dangerous to your workmates’ and your own personal safety. Asbestos dust
is insidious in the way it is easily breathed in – never take a risk –
always call for trained asbestos removalists if you come across a site
that may contain asbestos.
We
