[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 476179, member: 378"] Hi Roel, Overall I'd say the best risk management is to simply not detect or ever be in those areas, however that simply isn't a viable or manageable option in any way. I guess it's a similar case for those of us who still live in Fibro-Asbestos houses (in this case it's 29 years and counting for myself). Just thinking out aloud, but there's probably higher odds of snake bite or falling down an old mine shaft in some of those marked areas? Even in places where there's natural Blue/White Asbestos outcrops in public access areas, roadsides etc., the odds of any risk would again be there, but I'm assuming are pretty minimal and no doubt signs are in place where applicable. I'm guessing in some certain scenario's that there's always exceptions to these rules however. There will be members here who really know their stuff and have experience in this field (the Geologists. OH&S Risk Management and so on) and will probably explain further. Cheers, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
