Is it SAFE to send your Kids to School?

his month the Australian Government Asbestos Safety & Eradication Agency has released a SAFETY ALERT aimed at schools (see link below).

The safety alert is to advise of the reported presence of asbestos rock samples contained in some “mineral kits” purchased by schools. These kits have been sold throughout Australia and continue to be available for sale online.

Also some earlier mineral kits (dating from the 1970’s) produced by the former Geological Specimen Supplies company may also contain asbestos.

Ensure that your children’s school is aware of this safety alert:
