These reforms are a big deal, especially for places like childcare centres, hospitals, schools, and beaches where asbestos contamination could spell disaster. By tightening the rules and slapping heavier penalties on rule-breakers, the government is making sure these places stay safe.

Tier 1 | Wilful/Negligent: Whether it's deliberate or not, if you're causing harm to the environment, you're in trouble! |
Tier 2 | Asbestos Waste and Serious Offences: Messing with asbestos or ignoring cleanup orders? That's a big no-no. |
Tier 3 | Get caught breaking the rules, and you could be facing an on-the-spot fine. Ouch! |
