A New South Wales asbestos crackdown by the EPA has resulted in a number of companies being identified as failing to adhere to strict asbestos disposal laws.
In particular, 3 companies in Coffs Harbour, NSW, found asbestos had been disposed of incorrectly.
Given asbestos inhalation can result in asbestos diseases, such as pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma, safe disposal of asbestos is critical.
In the past there have been asbestos compensation claims made in New South Wales in respect to asbestos not being disposed properly.
