"Hi, I'm Donald Pitt, founder and managing director of Asbestos Audits International. I have been building and developing for over 40 years, and I'm confident no one else in Australia has the same hard-won expertise with asbestos. For the last 11 years I have concentrated solely on the management of asbestos in the workplace and the house.

I designed this site to be the only place you'll ever need to visit to learn about asbestos, its health effects and managing it safely. You can learn everything there is to know about:

• How to manage and remove asbestos.

• Where asbestos is commonly found, at home and in the workplace.
• The truth about James Hardie, the world's largest manufacturer of asbestos.

W hy am I so passionate about asbestos? I know the dangers first hand, and I am determined to expose the scandal of government and corporate cover-ups which have concealed the true risks for decades.

Our government knew asbestos would kill us.

Did you know that in the United States, workers in asbestos industries have not been able to find insurance since 1898? Why then were James Hardie and numerous other companies allowed to mine and manufacture materials containing asbestos that would kills us? The truth is that vested interests and apathy have left us exposed to the effects of this deadly material. This is why we are so passionate! When you deal with Asbestos Audits International, you get the full benefit of both our determination to make a difference, and our experience in making every type of building safe.
