Join us for a timely and practical session focused on managing asbestos in soils across the lifecycle of major projects — from early planning and demolition through to procurement and development.

This 45-minute presentation will explore lessons learnt on the ground, including indicators, sampling methods, and mitigation strategies that help de-risk projects and ensure asbestos-related risks are effectively managed.

Our expert panel includes:

• Richard Griffin (EPA Environmental Auditor, Senversa)

• Corey Banister (Contamination Specialist, Aurecon)

• Shane Collins (Certified Occupational Hygienist, Prensa)

They’ll share real-world insights from environmental audits and Big Build projects, providing valuable takeaways for practitioners, consultants, and duty holders alike.

🔍 Also featured: A walkthrough of WorkSafe Victoria’s new online guidance on managing soil contaminated with asbestos — a clear and accessible reference that all professionals working in this space should be across.
