The next phase of the NSW ‘Be Asbestos Ready’ campaign has launched to coincide with National Asbestos Awareness Week 2022.
National Asbestos Awareness Week (NAAW) runs from 21-27 November.
Councils are invited to partner with LGNSW and the NSW Asbestos Co-ordination Committee to promote the campaign across your own channels.
To help you promote the campaign, there is an editable stakeholder campaign pack containing a range of useful materials. You can also support by promoting the campaign’s messages, particularly over NAAW, including by using digital assets (including 15-minute videos and materials for social media), print assets (including posters) and written template materials.
Flood note
Actions outlined in the campaign are best practice and not always achievable in emergency and disaster situations. Given the extensive flooding in our state, partners may consider including an additional line in their social posts, i.e. “If you’re affected by the floods, find asbestos information at www.asbestos.nsw.gov.au/safety/managing-asbestos-in-emergencies-and-disasters.
Please email asbestoscoordination@epa.nsw.gov.au with any questions or if you require assistance with the assets in the campaign resource pack.
