About Asbestos
One of the most commonly used building products in Australia from the early 1900’s and up to 2000 was fibro (fiber cement sheeting) an asbestos containing material (ACM). Asbestos was also commonly used in the automotive and electrical industry, protective paint coatings thus found many uses in the construction of older infrastructure.
Fibro was used extensively for wall cladding and sheeting, ceilings, fencing and roofing material (commonly known as super six) the asbestos-based roof sheeting and fence material.
Because it is constantly exposed to the elements it poses a high risk as it will suffer weathering and has a limited life before it starts to break down thus constantly releasing fibers into the surrounding atmosphere every time the wind blows or it rains or hails.
