Asbestos awareness charity: are you playing renovation roulette?

A campaign to raise public awareness of the dangers of working with asbestos when renovating or maintaining homes has launched.

The ad uses a game of Russian roulette with a power drill played by a family to get the point across for the Asbestos Diseases Research Institute and asbestosawareness.com.au.

The campaign includes radio, print and online banners as well as TV, kicking off during NSW Asbestos Awareness Week on 26 November.
