The purpose of ‘Betty’ is to educate homeowners, renovators, tradies and property managers about the dangers of asbestos and how to manage it safely.
Betty is an initiative of the Asbestos Education Committee – in partnership with the Asbestos Diseases Research Institute (ADRI) – and the visit to Young is part of a 4,000 kilometre tour of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
Betty and her dedicated crew will educate residents about what to do to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA), and how to manage asbestos safely.
Locals can visit Betty on Thursday at Carrington Park between 11am – 3pm or Friday in the Big W carpark between 10am – 2pm.
