Asbestos National Strategic Plan

The Asbestos National Strategic Plan is a comprehensive approach developed by the government to manage and eliminate risks associated with asbestos exposure. It sets out coordinated actions—such as identifying asbestos sources, safely removing or containing asbestos, and protecting workers and the public. The plan also emphasizes research, regulation, public awareness, and safe disposal practices. Its goal is to reduce health risks like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, which can result from inhaling asbestos fibers, ensuring a safer environment through proactive planning and collaboration across agencies.
