November is Asbestos Awareness month.  Did you know that asbestos products can be found in ANY Australian home built or renovated before 1987?November is national Asbestos Awareness Month and Ipswich City Council has signed up to support this very important initiative. In the lead-up to Asbestos Awareness Day (Friday, 27 November 2015) all Australians especially homeowners, renovators, tradies and handymen need to ‘Get to know Asbestos this November’.Many wrongly believe only fibro homes contain asbestos. Asbestos products can most likely be found in ANY Australian home built or renovated before 1987 including brick, weatherboard, fibro and clad homes. It can be found in garages, kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, walls, eaves, fences and under wall and floor coverings. It could be anywhere.Don’t play renovation roulette! – it’s not worth the risk. Visit www.asbestosawareness.com.au to learn how to protect your family and yourself from exposure to dangerous asbestos fibres.
