About Asbestos
Asbestos was one of the most commonly used building products in Australia from the early 1900’s and up to 2000 was fibro (fibrous cement sheeting) an asbestos containing material (ACM). Asbestos was also commonly used in the automotive and electrical industry, protective paint coatings and 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 was used everywhere.

Rain, hail or shine this silent killer known as asbestos is at work.
