Last week, Master Builders Australia expressed its support of the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency’s (ASEA) release of its National Strategic Plan for Asbestos Management and Awareness 2014-18, while noting that Master Builders had long recognised the importance of a strategic approach for the removal of asbestos from existing buildings.

“In particular, Master Builders strongly supports the amendments to the Plan that consider the practicality of removing all asbestos-containing material (ACMs) from the built environment,” Master Builders Australia CEO Wilhelm Harnisch said. “The revised removal strategy instead seeks to identify priority areas where ACMs may present as a risk.”
