Asbestos, dust, fumes and chemicals register - The Australian Workers' Union : The Australian Workers' Union

It’s a good idea to document any asbestos and or/dust, fumes and chemical exposure in case you do develop an asbestos-related or occupational lung disease later in life. Register your exposure with the AWU below.

The information which you provide will be maintained by AWU’s partner Maurice Blackburn to record details of your exposure to silica dust regardless of how recent or long ago it was. This record can help any future claims for compensation you may need to make.
