Author of the book Killer Company, James Hardie Exposed, Matt Peacock, will be one of the speakers at an event organized by Victorian Trades Hall Council “Asbestos – The Past and the Future”.
Matt’s research exposes the culpability of James Hardie in the manufacture and use of asbestos materials, as well as their attempts to avoid being held responsible for the spread of this deadly product.
Also speaking will be Jim Ward, a project officer for the AWU, who will report on the latest developments in Tasmania.
The final speaker will be our very own Pat Preston, former OH&S manager for the Victorian Branch of the CFMEU who has decades of experience with asbestos and is an acknowledged “expert”.
Pat is a currently a consultant to the Asbestos Contractors Group and represents us on the WorkSafe Asbestos Stakeholders Reference Group.
The event will be held on Thursday October 15th at 8.15am. Please contact us for more information.
