2020 Update to the WA Asbestos in Soils Guidelines

In November 2019 WA Department of Health released a Consultation Draft for the Guidelines for the Assessment, Remediation and Management of Asbestos-Contaminated Sites in Western Australia. This presentation will examine the key changes to on-site characterisation and analysis, and how these may impact Contaminated Sites and asbestos- related Risk Assessments in WA and further afield.

We will conclude the session with audience driven questions and answers. Please email me at elearning@landandgroundwater.com with any detailed aspects of the subject you would like to see addressed.
