Asbestos Safety & Management Conference

Blue Mountains City Council and the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency are pleased to invite you to attend the 2022 Asbestos Safety and Management Conference, to be held on 19 – 20 May 2022 at the Fairmont Resort & Spa in the UNESCO World Heritage listed Blue Mountains.

This important national event, with a special focus on front line asbestos safety management, will comprise a 2-day conference on 19-20 May, including a series of plenary sessions, workshops and networking activities, as well as optional pre-conference activities held on 18 May. The conference will be a hybrid event, offering delegates the opportunity to either attend in-person or livestream the event.

Every year, an estimated 4,000 Australians die from asbestos-related diseases. This number is four times the annual road toll.

By acting together we can stop further tragic deaths by preventing exposure to asbestos fibres through better management of asbestos in both our built and natural environment.

There will be an impressive line-up of expert international and national speakers, including:

• international experts on asbestos identification and artificial technology

• national experts on contaminated soils, illegal dumping, disaster clean up and accounting for asbestos liabilities

• local government experts on land remediation projects, asbestos management systems and collaborative local approaches to asbestos management.
