Asbestos found again at a Western Australia school, parents say response failed
Parents at a Western Australia primary school say the education department has failed to properly address the repeated discovery of asbestos in school playgrounds, ABC reports. They are calling for more thorough action.
Parents at a Western Australia primary school say the education department has not permanently resolved the repeated discovery of asbestos in school playgrounds, ABC reports. They have voiced concern about children's safety.
The report says asbestos-containing material has been detected before, with temporary measures taken each time. Parents say similar findings have occurred at other schools in the area and are calling for a comprehensive inspection.
The education department says the material found has been safely removed by specialists and that schools have remained open. Officials say regular checks are continuing and that further measures will be taken if considered necessary.
