The continued legacy of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in government buildings is a significant concern for the South Australian Government, which is committed to protecting the health, safety and welfare of its employees while at work and minimising the risk to the health of employees, contractors and the public from exposure to asbestos. The Government’s commitment to this protection is exemplified through the provision of an annual Asbestos Removal Fund.
