Blue asbestos in Australia

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 19/11/2025

Two earlier reports on this subject dealt with this industry on the basis of information then available and virtually omitted from consideration the activities of the producer and consumer subsidiaries of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company. This company has now supplied detailed information, particularly on its plans for production and it is therefore necessary to review the industry afresh. The production and consumption of asbestos in Australia are discussed in this report.
