Asbestos at Pickles Auction House - Fyshwick, ACT
Building works at Pickles Auction House undertaken in the period 5-9 October 2009 (inclusive) have resulted in the release of asbestos into the air.
If you visited Pickles during this period, you may have been exposed to asbestos.
Given the relatively short duration of your possible exposure to loose asbestos fibres at Pickles then, the probability of your contracting an asbestos-related disease is low.
An isolated exposure to asbestos fibres of short duration is unlikely to result in the development of an asbestos-related disease. However, if you have any health concerns, please seek medical advice from your General Practitioner.
Alternatively, anyone with concerns may contact the Health Protection Service on (02) 6205 1700.
It would be helpful if you would provide this advice to any person who accompanied you on any visit to Pickles during the dates above.
