LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Question Without Notice

Wednesday 3rd of April 2019

Hon Martin Aldridge MLC to the Minister for Education

I refer to a Now article entitled 'High risk asbestos in WA schools' published online on 27 January 2019 and I ask: I. Please identify the schools with a risk rating between I and 4 identifying the individual rating of each school; 2. Please identify the individual cost to alleviate the asbestos risk in each of the schools identified in (1 ); and 3. What plans do the Department of Education have, and relevant timeframes, to address the highest risk schools from exposing their staff and students to asbestos related harm?

I thank the Hon Member for some notice of this question.

Answer

1. I table the attached information. 2. This information is not available. Costs for remediation are not included as part of the risk assessments. 3. The Department's policy is to remove or remediate all elements of asbestos containing materials with a risk rating of I or 2. Elements with a risk rating of 3 or below are managed in accordance with the Department's Asbestos Management Plan. All asbestos containing material is inspected at intervals as recommended by the assessors, but not exceeding tln·ee years.

All public schools have a site-specific Asbestos-Containing Materials Register that fonns an integral part of the Department of Education's Asbestos Management Plan. Tabled Paper
