Goods crossing the Australian border are monitored by the Australian Border Forcer to prevent unlawful imports. ASSEA publishes data about asbestos detected at the border, and related safety alerts and recalls.
Asbestos detections at the border
Data around previous unlawful imports are used to protect Australia from possible future unlawful imports. If an organisation has had previous unlawful imports their shipments will be under greater scrutiny.
Safety alerts and recalls
Sometimes asbestos is found in a product that has already been imported into Australia. ASSEA publishes safety alerts and recalls to help the public be aware of any possible asbestos risk.
