ASBESTOS RISKS

Residents are reminded that if you are renovating or undertaking improvements to your home (or other buildings) and asbestos products are part of the building elements subject of the improvements, you are required by law to take certain measures to minimise the risk to your health and dispose of the asbestos in the correct manner.

There is an information pamphlet (produced from the Department of Health) and is available at the Council Offices or online by following the link below:
