How to best rid NSW of the scourge of asbestos and its contaminated materials is a key theme of this seminar. Doing it efficiently, safely and cost effectively seem reasonable goals, but there are many obstacles in the way. Other key themes include:

- Impact of new NSW laws on asbestos waste management
- Investigate impacts of asbestos on recycled materials and disposal methods
Speakers represent a broad cross section of disciplines, which have a role to play in asbestos management, along with the main regulators to provide a holistic view of asbestos management in NSW. The seminar will also discuss emerging issues with the management of asbestos waste and asbestos containing materials including:
- Asbestos waste issues – definitions, enforcement, available disposal services and transport and costs
