New Australian National Guide for Asbestos Surveys has been published by the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency

Our Australian Alpha Tracker asbestos consultancies will be aware of the recent consultation to develop a national guide and standard for asbestos surveying.  This has now been published by the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency (ASSEA) in consultation with asbestos professionals, industry associations, regulatory authorities and worker representatives.

The guide can be downloaded as a PDF

Jack and his team are updating asbestos software Alpha Tracker now to reflect the new regime.

Contact Judy in our Adelaide office to discuss how Alpha Tracker will be modified, and how it will affect your asbestos consultancy.

BBC Radio 4 is airing "Killer Dust" over the next 10 days. It's a fascinating listen covering the topic of asbestos from so many angles. Listen at 13:45 daily or via BBC Sounds

A fascinating radio 10-episode documentary series about asbestos - "Killer Dust" - is airing on BBC Radio 4 from Monday 4 March until Friday 14 March.


To quote from the programme's website:
"This is the story of Killer Dust, from mountains of the material in mines still operating in countries today, to the skyscrapers of Manhattan, and the terraced streets of the north of England.

It is the story too of the people who fought and died for the truth in order to expose the reckless pursuit of profit in the making of one of the most dangerous building materials on the planet."
