Many hazardous materials are present throughout Australian buildings and workplaces. They can be found as building materials, surface finishes, within plant & equipment, and as raw materials or products/by-products of manufacturing processes. Hazardous materials are also found as environmental pollutants, including pesticides, herbicides, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals.
