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.
