NSW asbestos concern

Asbestos fears have risen due to a proposal to redevelop the former James Hardie site at Camellia. The German company Remondis is responsible for this proposal. They wish to build a waste management plant on the site which is near the Sydney suburb of Parramatta.

This controversial proposal to redevelop this site has sparked fears that it will bring with it asbestos related diseases. Concern has been expressed by many people about the dangers of asbestos. People are concerned about the development resulting in asbestos exposure, causing asbestos related diseases in the future, such as mesothelioma.

However Remondis have assured interested parties that protective measures will be taken to ensure asbestos dust is not liberated during construction. They are looking at implementing further measures to ensure concerns are addressed.

Many of the workers who worked at the Sydney James Hardie asbestos cement factory went on to develop asbestos conditions such as mesothelioma. There have been numerous Australian asbestos compensation claims commenced in Courts in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia as a result of James Hardie workers pursuing their asbestos compensation rights following being diagnosed with asbestos related conditions.
