Where can I get advice and support on asbestos issues?

Asbestos is a major issue for trade unions and community-based safety campaigns.

If you are in any way unhappy about working with asbestos:

• Stop the job to avoid further exposure
• Get advice from your site safety rep, shop steward or full time officer. Contact details for unions are available in the workSMART union finder.
• Contact a local asbestos campaign or support group – many local projects have taken up the asbestos issue in their community. Contact details of a local asbestos campaign near you are available on the Hazards magazine website: www.hazards.org/organisations.htm.
