National Asbestos Awareness Week, 26–30 November 2018

  • 25 November 2018

This is Gordon, happily married for 46 years and proud of his three children. He enjoyed driving holidays, catching up with friends interstate or following his footy team. He liked nothing better than to sit down with friends and share a glass or two of red.

Gordon was exposed to asbestos at his workplace in the 1970s when asbestos sheeting was removed without adequate protection for staff who were working at the time. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2013 and died 7 months later.

Riverland Field Days, September 2018

  • 6 October 2018

The Riverland Field Days are held at the Barmera Showgrounds in September every year. It is always a successful show for AVA with plenty of people stopping to ask questions about asbestos – how to identify it, how best to deal with it, where to find a professional removalist. There are always health questions too, from people who think they may have been exposed.
