ASEA collaborated with Urbis Pty Ltd to assess the costs and benefits of including proactive asbestos removal in the third phase ANSP. This is consistent with the intent of the three-phased strategy that was originally proposed. The results show clear economic and social benefits of improved regulatory frameworks and government incentives to safely increase proactive asbestos removal rates, that will prevent the death of up to 28,000 Australians from ARDs.
