Approximate number of Australian homes that are still likely to contain asbestos in some form
On average, one person dies every 12 hours in Australia from mesothelioma
It is estimated 4000 people die each year in Australia from Asbestos
Typical age of first exposure to asbestos for recorded WA mesothelioma sufferers
As we experience a 3rd ‘wave’ of sufferers, including home renovators (DIY) and tradies, ongoing community AWARENESS is crucial. Reflections, in partnership with the construction industry, is actively increasing awareness through events such as Steeltoes & Stilettos along with advocacy for improved training for those entering industries where asbestos was used. With the age of first exposure being 23 years of age, training and education to those most at risk is essential.
