Episode Fifteen
To expand on an earlier point, the Environment Protection Act 2017 has a strong focus on soil contamination and on the importance of reducing risks of exposure to Asbestos and other harmful substances. When it comes to asbestos you need to know where it is and how to control it, remove it and safely dispose of it. KIM by Kynection has you covered – from SOP’s, JSEAs and SWMS to HSEQ Policies and Procedures, to Project management, contractor and PPE and induction tools. You have everything you need in ONE SYSTEM. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. It does not dissolve in water, it does not evaporate, it is resistant to heat, fire, chemical and biological degradation, it is soundproof and it is a great binder – which is why it was so popular worldwide until it became clear that the crystal fibres of asbestos are extremely deadly. Asbestos has no safe exposure level and is linked to both short and long term effects including types of cancer. We already mentioned the ingenuity and integrity of Midnight Oil, let’s just listen to their words and reflect together.
“The candy store paupers lie to the shareholders
They’re crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I’m caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
And if the blue sky mining company won’t come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company won’t save me
Who’s gonna save me?”
– Midnight Oil, 1990
