Barwon Health is not worried about "a little bit of asbestos"











When is a little bit of asbestos OK? Well, according to Barwon Health's statment in the Geelong Adveritser on Wednesday 18 August - it must look like this. These photos are of the buildings in front of McKellar Nursing Home that Barwon Health gave the Rotary Club to refurbish, but they are full of asbestos. After Geelong Trades Hall raised the issue, professionals were engadged to clean up but absestos still remains in the building. Geelong Trades Hall is still trying to find out which workers were exposed so they can be made aware of their legal rights.


According to Barwon Health's thinking maybe - a little bit of asbestos only cuases a little bit of cancer - no problem eh?
