    Someone I know was actually included in one of these reports and was on the news here in Australia

    Really nice guy

    Anyone who thinks this isn’t serious are kidding themselves, last I heard, he’d lost a huge amount of lung function. Hopefully pink Batts are next. They can’t be healthy

    The crap thing are the people still arguing that should keep doing them, because they care too much what people think about their houses.

    There is literally no good reason risking yourself for some rich asshole, and I regret a lot of things I did as a tradie now installing cables like climbing in potentially asbestos contaminated dirt under houses

      It’s wild to me that people don’t see this as some type of attempted murder.

    Love the one downvote. Makes it seem like someone needs their counter top of suffering, more than the lives of those who made it

    Link doesn’t work. I think the text and URL are reversed. Copy link just returns “url”.

    Can’t the stone be cut and handled without generating airborn dust?

      Airfed masks with the correct filter is perfectly fine. Combined with water suppression on the Stone cutting machine.

      Decent ones can be pricey at about £700 each but that’s cheaper than someone getting silicosis.

        That’s what I figured. Sounds like they have a hard time enforcing and checking people get the correct PPE.
