Reporting asbestos contaminated mulch
Posted
The Master Builders Association of the ACT received correspondence from Chief Minister Andrew Barr advising of the ACT Government’s decision to immediately move to remediate sites contaminated by asbestos.
WorkSafe ACT and the ACT Government Taskforce, led by the Environment Protection Authority, is directly linked to the NSW EPA Taskforce and have been tasked with ensuring timely flow of information and assistance.
Should you have concerns about the safety of your employees or a site, members are advised to contact WorkSafe ACT or the EPA via Access Canberra on 13 22 81. Additional information about the situation and dealing with asbestos is also available via their websites.
If you require further information about your responsibilities as a PCBU in respect of asbestos, please reach out to the Workplace Relations and Legal Team on 6175 5900.
